Make Your Idea Come To Life With Reliable Technology Grants

By Patty Goff


Once your invention begins coming to life, you will find that life is more expensive than you may be ready for. When applying for technology grants there are a few goals and needs that need to be defined first. Explain in as much detail as possible what the project is trying to accomplish and what will be needed to complete it. One will need to be able to explain how this is going to make a difference to the world.

One will need to enlist the help of others so that the goals set out can be achieved and those that are willing to help are actively involved in the project. Meet with the supervisor or principal so that the full plan can be explained and discussed so there will be no misunderstandings. If the plan is implemented one will need to know who will be effected by the project, for example the teachers or different departments.

The final proposal should have a covering letter on either the school or the organizations letterhead. The principal or head of department will need to be the one to sign. There should be a title and a brief outline of the project as well as the amount that will be required. Any contact information will need to be written down as well. One must remember to include reference to the "Grant making Policies" and clearly state that they are understood and will be complied with.

Neo-Luddism is very much against modern technology. Their common practice is to destroy or discard the use of equipment and to live an easy life. The modern movement is associated with the radical environmentalism, deep ecology as well as the anti globalizations movement and anarcho primitivism. Some of them will even turn to aggression and destruction so that social change will be achieved. The Second Luddie Congress is very much against any action that has a tendency to become violent. During the years 1978 and 1995 Theodore Kaczynski engaged in a nationwide campaign against modern technology by planting and mailing homemade bombs. He killed three people and injured 23 others in the process.

These RFPs have certain rules that will need to be followed and some funders prefer to have a summary of the plan in writing before one even can apply for the grant. This is just so that they are able to see if the funders are able to help out. In some cases others have no special process that needs to be followed and they might even accept spontaneous requests.

When the budget is submitted one must use the Foundations own budget and financial report template. All expenses must be defined and all categories need to have detailed subcategories as well. If the proposal is accepted annual reports will need to be submitted as well.

When a funder has been found one will need to read the guidelines that they have about phone contact just to ensure that one follows any regulations and rules that have been set out. One must remember that they have many different grants that they have given and they need to follow up on them all. A certain time may need to be set aside so that they can have all their attention on ones specific needs.

Once the technology grant has been accepted one will need to find out what formal reports will need to be submitted. Keep updating them on the progress of the project and if possible send pictures or quotations so they are able to see what influence their funding is having. Let others know about the support that has been received but be aware of guidelines.
