Hello. My name is Joe Mizereck. My partner, Chad Stalvey, and I developed this website to help America's teachers and schools. Nearly every state is having fiscal problems. As a result schools and school districts across America are struggling to find ways to fill the gaps created by state, federal and local budget cuts. Our teachers and schools need help in finding and securing the resources they need to educate our kids. Our mission at www.GrantsAlert.com is to help them find and capture those resources to do their work and do it well.” Our work involves finding and sharing information on education funding opportunities that will help our teachers and schools. We provide teachers, schools and related organizations with free access to up-to-date announcements of corporate, foundation, state and federal education funding opportunities—and only education. That’s what makes us unique. In addition, if you’re like a lot of districts out there that don’t have someone on staff who can write a winning proposal, you can turn to our Grant Writers’ Directory. It’s the perfect solution for schools that have neither the staff nor the experience required to write successful proposals. Most of my life's work has been in the area of improving education and helping our children become more successful students and people. These are among my passions and reasons why you will find that this website leans heavily in favor of helping those involved in fundraising for K-12 education causes. My background as a high school teacher, President of the Southern Scholarship Foundation, Director of Grants Development for the Florida Department of Education, Executive Director of the Foundation for Florida's Community College System and current work has made me keenly aware of the tremendous challenges that exist in education and the extraordinary need for dollars to meet those challenges. It is my hope that this website will become an invaluable tool in helping you and others find the funds, and more importantly, the friends you need to meet those challenges. Please don't hesitate to share your thoughts with us. If you have an idea on how we might make this a more helpful website, let me know. Either call me at 850.385.0488 or email me at: jmizereck@grantsalert.com Thank you, Joe Mizereck |
