Grants and in-kind donationseditYou may not need money to start an education program. In fact, most classroom based education programs do not seek funding from WMF because resources such as meeting space, internet and computers and printing are available at low or no cost in schools. Program leaders ask for in-kind donations from local partners and grants from WMF to get resources that education institutions cannot provide.
Partner organizations and local governments may be wiling to provide in-kind support for an education program instead of funding. In-kind support includes donated items, space for events, use of computers, Wifi hotspots or internet access, or food and beverages for events.
As education programs grow to include several institutions or program models, some elligible organizations seek funding through Annual Plan Grants (APG) program to pay for staff to coordinate education program. Organizations, groups and individuals who are not eligible for APGs can apply for Project and Event Grants (PEG) program to pay for printing, training and outreach materials, renting space for events, and to reimburse volunteers for travel costs.
