McBride is a grant grant writer for Steamboat Springs, Hayden and South Routt school districts who was able to obtain total of $1.46 million in grants during the 2007-08 school year. The $1.2 million she secured specifically for Steamboat was more than the district had received from grants in the past eight years combined. 

“It’s this little dance of knowing the project inside and out,” she said. “The number one reason a grant is not funded is because of the fit.”

“We would have found money in another way because things like (the middle school entrance) couldn’t wait,” she said. By finding the funding from grants, however, more can be spent on other projects.

McBride is talking to district officials, teachers and staff about their needs in the upcoming school year as she begins the process anew. She said it was still too early to say what grants she would apply for this year. To view this whole article visit www.steamboatpilot.com/news/2008/aug/31/success_granted/.
