Grants for Computer Use in Pre-Kindergarten

Computers are pervasive in our society, and children must learn how to use them as early as possible. Foundation and federal grants are available for preschools that need computers or need to expand their computer programs. Eligible schools may receive either direct funding or donations of computers and computer equipment.
  1. Computers for Learning

    • The Computers for Learning Program is administered by the U.S. General Services Administration and was designed to help schools at all levels to obtain computers and peripheral equipment. Governmental bodies can transfer this equipment to schools and eligible nonprofits. This grant is open to pre-kindergarten through 12th grade public and private schools, day care centers and nonprofit educational organizations. A nonprofit business must meet the following requirements: be a 501(c) tax-exempt business and primarily offer educational services. This grant is open to schools in the United States, Guam, Puerto Rico, Northern Mariana Islands and American Samoa.
