Educational institutions are always involved in a constant process of curriculum development. Educational materials need constant revision and updating to remain relevant and timely. This constant work takes an investment of time and effort that many educational institutions struggle to meet. This is why many nonprofits are involved in the business of curriculum development. 

These nonprofits are only able to do their work through the generous funding provided by curriculum development grants. These grants help cover a wide range of purposes and programs. These include the creation of new lesson plans, teaching materials, online learning resources and specialized education programs.

There are a variety of entities that provide these kinds of grants. Good examples of these include the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) or the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.  

When drafting a curriculum development grant proposal, it's important that you use relevant data. You will want to collect comprehensive information on things such as student needs, curricula gaps and best practices. You need to use statistics to prove that there is a gap in curriculum that your nonprofit is uniquely positioned to fill.

If you need further information on writing high quality grant proposals, you can check out our comprehensive guide on the topic. You can also browse a list of curriculum development grants right here, all open for applications.
