There are also quite a bit of state-level organizations that are offering funding for Preschool grants like the Tennessee Department of Agriculture and the New York State Office of Mental Health.

A carefully planned approach is needed in order to successfully win grants for preschools. To improve grant success, nonprofits should concentrate on all of these key areas:

  • Align with funder priorities – Tailor proposals to match the funder’s mission and align your programs with early childhood education best practices.
  • Use measurable outcomes – Highlight data that clearly quantifies measurable student outcomes.
  • Build strategic partnerships – Collaborate with local schools and childcare networks.
  • Develop a compelling narrative – Tell real-life stories of preschools and early childhood education programs that you have positively helped in your community.
