Our expert support and resources can help your school or district secure funding to implement Renaissance practice, assessment, and data insight programs.
Did you know that many of our customers use funds already budgeted within their districts to purchase Renaissance solutions? These include:
The best strategy for accessing these funds is to include the costs of your Renaissance programs when administrators prepare yearly budgets. If a formal proposal to an administrator is required, we can help.
Foundation or corporate support for education is often focused on specific areas of interest, such as literacy, STEM, elementary education, or secondary education.
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.
While foundations and corporations can be a significant source of funds, writing an effective proposal can be a challenge. We can provide you tips and guidance on how best to approach the funder.

Competitive grant programs include:
The application process is demanding and requires a great deal of detailed information. If you are planning to apply for a grant, we can guide you through the process and suggest how to submit the most competitive application possible.
Did you know that you can use federal formula funding sources for Renaissance programs that help students accelerate learning during the summer?
Visit our Summer Learning webpage to learn about how our solutions support summer learning in any environment, from formal summer school to school- and community-based enrichment programs, and independent learning opportunities.

Renaissance can help schools meet goals under ESSA and qualify for formula and competitive funds.
