Overview
Grants Administration supports the district’s strategic plan, goals, and priorities by maximizing available resources to improve educational opportunities across Charleston County School District (CCSD). We are dedicated to securing competitive grants that provide the necessary funding to enhance educational programs, innovate instructional practices, and drive student success.
Our office leads the development of competitive grants, including federal, state, corporate, and foundation opportunities, by working closely with school and district staff. We strive to bring resources that support academic initiatives, professional development, student services, and much more.
Grant Management
Our office collaborates with staff to create well-crafted grant applications. We provide expert support in identifying grant opportunities, strategically reviewing grant criteria, communicating with funders, gathering relevant statistics and data, developing grant budgets, setting goals and objectives, reviewing and editing applications, compiling required documents, and securing authorized signatures.
Additionally, our office works closely with CCSD Accounting, Budgeting, Procurement, HR, and Assessment & Evaluation to offer ongoing technical assistance to project managers throughout the duration of their grants.
Grant Partnerships
Our office serves as your liaison when an external organization is applying for a grant. We assist with providing letters of support, data, and other relevant information to strengthen the grant application on behalf of the partner. If you learn that an outside organization is considering applying for a grant that will benefit CCSD students or staff, please notify this office by email at grants@charleston.k12.sc.us as soon as possible.
