IT Leaders
As ESSER funding sunsets, districts face mounting pressure to sustain critical technology initiatives and close persistent digital equity gaps. This interactive session empowers you with the skills to secure new funding sources - government, corporate, and foundation grants to keep your momentum going. Whether you're new to grant writing or looking to refine your approach, you'll leave with a comprehensive resource handbook, sample proposals, and actionable tools to craft winning applications. Learn what today’s funders prioritize - equity, innovation, and long-term impact - and how to align your proposals with these values. Ideal for educators and technology leaders committed to sustaining digital access, infrastructure upgrades, and future-ready learning environments, this session delivers the confidence, clarity, and tools needed to win grants and drive innovation in your schools and districts at a time when it matters most and will help you build a resilient funding strategy beyond ESSER.
