Learning new languages and being exposed to new cultures unlocks whole new economic vistas, for students and working adults alike. There are also many other benefits to picking up another language, or engaging in bilingualism. However, access to and interest in language education within America is currently on a decline. There are many nonprofits that have made it their mission to step in and try to address this gap. 

These nonprofits are only able to do their work thanks to the generous funding provided by bilingual education grants. These grants can be put towards a wide range of purposes. These can include bilingual classes and immersion programs, as well as curriculum development and training for language instructors. 

There are many different organizations that may be involved in this space. These include many private foundations, such as the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation of New York and the Walton Family Foundation. 

When drafting a bilingual education grant proposal, it's essential to collect relevant data on language statistics, as well as education availability. You can also back up your case by including information on the workforce demand for bilingualism, as well as potential economic benefits.
