--=======680B19A4======= Content-Type: text/plain; x-avg-checked=avg-ok-21945FEA; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Most school districts have an administrator who specializes in grant writing, and who should know the possible grantors that might be appropriate. Your principal might know who this would be. If that approach draws a blank, I know an administrator in a neighboring county who has successfully obtained grants on behalf of a cemetery project involving student efforts and preservation. The difference is that the cemetery is on school property, but otherwise there are similarities. Email me privately if you need information from the individual outside your corporation.
