Finding and Evaluating Potential Funders
The Web has made the task of researching potential sponsors
much easier, but old-fashioned methods are still some of the best ways to
uncover good leads. Use a mix of the old and new for best effect:
- NEW: Review the sponsors listed on this Web
site on the Internal and External Funding
Sources pages and in the funding newsletter News, Notes, and Deadlines,
e-mailed monthly during the academic year to Mary Baldwin faculty.
- OLD: Check with your professional organizations
and successful colleagues to find out about small grants programs.
- NEW: Register to receive electronic notices
from federal agencies automatically through grants.gov.
- OLD: Call or e-mail program officers to ask
them about the programs they supervise and also about other programs
they know of.
You may find it helpful to fill out a
Sponsor
Evaluation Form (MSWord) for your best possibilities.
