Overview of common funding streams

Federal funds

The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) provides both formula funds and competitive grants.

  • Formula funds are allocated annually to state education agencies or directly to school districts based on the number of students meeting specific eligibility criteria. Renaissance’s research-proven solutions align with the requirements of each formula funding source.
  • Competitive grants are awarded through a selection process. They are typically multi-year, and the dollar amounts are usually significant. The applications require compelling data to support the need, precise plans for the proposed program, and rigorous attention to detail.

Budgeted funds

Many of our customers use dollars already budgeted within their districts to purchase Renaissance solutions. These include allocations for assessments, instructional materials, library collections, technology, professional learning, and contributions by district foundations and parent organizations.

The best strategy for accessing these funds is to include the cost of your Renaissance programs when administrators prepare yearly budgets. If a formal proposal to an administrator is required, we can help.

Competitive Grants

Foundation or corporate support for education is often focused on specific areas of interest, such as literacy, STEM, elementary education, or particular student populations.

Foundations may award grants nationwide, within a specific state, or only in designated regions or communities. Corporations usually offer grants in locations in which their employees or customers live or work.
