Grants

The Poudre School District Partnerships and Grants Department supports staff in finding and obtaining funds for projects that forward the school district and schools. This department serves as a communication link within the district and among partners working on grant proposals. Communication is also necessary to inform the PSD Board of Education and the superintendent about large proposals and their implications for the district.

In addition, the Partnerships and Grants Department facilitates partnerships with other community agencies, acting as a link within the district and among partners. Communication and collaboration increase possibilities for partnerships and guard against unnecessary duplication.
