For a presentation next week, I am interested in hearing from museums that have directly or indirectly received federal funding from the Department of Education. Examples could include: planning grants for charter schools Eisenhower funds for teacher training Title I (programming for economically disadvantaged youth) Goals 2000 (blue-sky education reform) Technology Challenge grants Some of these programs would grant directly to museums, others would grant to the state department of education for regrants, or to the school district. I am interested in any of the above. I'm also interested in whether museums have raised private funds in order to partner in projects supported by above federal programs. For example, Maija Sedzielarz at the Science Mus. of MN recently shared a posting from someone whose development department had targeted corporations to donate transportation costs for field trips by Title I (disadvantaged) schools. It's a very brief presentation, so all I'm looking for is basic info, not detailed descriptions (though I'd welcome those for other uses). Thanks in advance.
