Grant/Donation
Processing & Direct Grants to Subscribers
Grant/donation processing using our 501(C)(3) non-profit status
The Institute offers its 501(c)(3) status to NIE programs to support grant and sponsorship writing efforts. NIEI act as the fiscal agent for your NIE program to non-profit and corporate funders that require a non-profit status to make donations. We then process your tax-deductible donations/grants, fulfill required IRS paperwork and provide a report to the funder.
Processing fees based on grant/donation size were reduced to:
- $20,000+...4%
- $15,000.....5%
- $ 500........6% Minimum donation/grant NIEI
processes. Donations of $100 or more may be pooled together to reach
the $500 minimum.

Grants to sponsor newspapers and/or for
printing
educational supplements
The Institute develops grant funding from corporate and non-profit organizations to accomplish exceptional educational projects. Funds are provided to subscribers as mini-grants for participating in the project. Funds may be used to sponsor papers, defray the cost of the project such as printing an educational supplement, or both.
Subscribers are contacted by e-mail with the stipulations of each grant program, as funds become available. Subscribing NIE programs submit required paperwork requesting funds and committing their program to the project.
Every year grants issued to members have exceeded subscription fees. The 5-year goal is to provide each subscribering paper with more grant funding than their subscription fees.
Grants for curriculum development
The Institute provides modest grants, mostly $250 with funding up to $1,000 for significant resources; to either purchase NIE curriculum you have already created or fund the development of new materials. Please contact the Institute to discuss a proposal outline that would be followed by a written project proposal.
