We were recently asked to help in an effort to identify strong candidates for the Strategic Data Fellowship (The Strategic Data Project is based out of the Center for Education Policy Research at Harvard University.). SDP is currently recruiting Fellows to serve in agencies in the following areas: New York State Education Department (NYC and Albany); Elizabeth, NJ; Wake County Public Schools-North Carolina; Kentucky DOE; Colorado DOE; Baltimore County; Los Angeles USD; The College Ready Promise –an LA-based CMO; and Springfield Public Schools in western Massachusetts. Applications are on their website at www.gse.harvard.edu/sdp.
As we say farewell to grant writing, we want to present one of the grant reports created for a child care business that responded during last year's launch. Thank you to all the companies that showed interest in our service and to the Foundation Center for their phenomenal leads.

When the staff at InfoUpgrade learned about the nonprofit organization called "One Laptop Per Child" we were so moved and humbled by their commitment to technology and the global community. Please view the video below for more infomation and support them by visiting their website and finding out more about how you can contribute.
