Just like any other grant opportunities, grants for private, Christian schools are given by private foundations, public charities and government sources. However, there are also grants available from religious organizations, such as the National Catholic Educational Association which offers the Father Michael J. McGivney Memorial Fund for New Initiatives in Catholic Education.
Misconceptions
