NCTE has compiled a list of additional resources that we feel will be helpful to you as you seek funding and resources for your school, district or program.  These include a list of state humanities councils, state departments of education, and education-friendly foundation and corporation listings. 

Additionally, there are a number of resources available on the Web designed to assist grant writers in identifying the appropriate style and method for writing grants.  Be sure to visit our listings for professional development funding, too.
