Obtain Funding

Step 3

Potential funding sources to pay for training include foundation grants, Parents’ Clubs, Student Government, Site Councils, private donations, Safe and Drug Free Schools grants, Gear Up! and a variety of other sources. You should think about funding your program at two levels:

• the immediate need is to cover the costs of ttraining the staff members who will become certified WEB coordinators.
• Beyond this cost, it is a good idea to create a transition budget to fund the program every year. WEB is designed to be highly sustainable with a minimal budget in ongoing years and it is a good idea to identify the ongoing source of revenue for the program at the beginning.
