Once your invention begins coming to life, you will find that life is more expensive than you may be ready for. When applying for technology grants there are a few goals and needs that need to be defined first. Explain in as much detail as possible what the project is trying to accomplish and what will be needed to complete it. One will need to be able to explain how this is going to make a difference to the world.

For those that require the grant one must read through the guidelines before inquiring. If the project fits within the requirements the grantor will then ask for a proposal to be submitted. The one that is requesting the help will need to be available to work closely with the staff so as to refine the proposal. This could take time as numerous drafts will be drawn up. Once the final proposal has been submitted the program staff will then recommend that the grant be accepted by the Board of Trustees. Unfortunately this could take some time as they normally only have quarterly meeting through the year.

Some people are even wondering if because of technology societies will improve or worsen in the years to come. Certain movements such as Neo-Luddism are saying that this will harm the environment and isolate people. This development have even got scientist aware that it has affected certain primates and dolphin communities as they have developed simple tools. They will be able pass their knowledge onto the next generation.

Neo-Luddism is very much against modern technology. Their common practice is to destroy or discard the use of equipment and to live an easy life. The modern movement is associated with the radical environmentalism, deep ecology as well as the anti globalizations movement and anarcho primitivism. Some of them will even turn to aggression and destruction so that social change will be achieved. The Second Luddie Congress is very much against any action that has a tendency to become violent. During the years 1978 and 1995 Theodore Kaczynski engaged in a nationwide campaign against modern technology by planting and mailing homemade bombs. He killed three people and injured 23 others in the process.

These RFPs have certain rules that will need to be followed and some funders prefer to have a summary of the plan in writing before one even can apply for the grant. This is just so that they are able to see if the funders are able to help out. In some cases others have no special process that needs to be followed and they might even accept spontaneous requests.

When the budget is submitted one must use the Foundations own budget and financial report template. All expenses must be defined and all categories need to have detailed subcategories as well. If the proposal is accepted annual reports will need to be submitted as well.

Once all of the details are written down finding a grantor is next on the list. Many academic libraries are able to help. They can also be found using the internet and will help in identifying the different foundations whether they are private, public or government.

The grants are given to teachers at any level to encourage education programs within the school's curriculum. They are mainly given to those that tend to serve a large number of students that come from low income homes. This will help with combining math and science into the program.
