Digital Media Academy

Digital Media Academy realizes that school budgets and the ability to offer training and professional development for faculty and staff have been greatly affected by the current economic conditions. In response, we have partnered with Redrock Reports to put together a set of funding sources and grant application tools that schools and educators can use to secure money to attend DMA summer courses and/or bring DMA onsite for training and professional development.

We have created four tools, detailed below, that you can use to help locate funding sources and apply for grants for your teachers, staff, and students.

Tool #1 – DMA Funding Matrix: [PDF Document]

The funding opportunities document is divided into two parts. Part I – Index of Funding Resources provides a list of potential federal, state and private grants that may be used to purchase Digital Media Academy products. Click on the titles in Part 1 to link to more detailed descriptions in Part 2 – The Funding Matrix.

Tool #2 – DMA Funding Assistance Document: [PDF Document]

This Funding Assistance Document assists grant seekers in understanding the requirements and disposition of federal, state and private funding sources. In this document, Digital Media Academy focuses on two product lines: 1) Digital Media Academy Pro-Series – Professional Training and 2) Kids, Teens, and Summer Camps.

The alignment of Digital Media Academy product lines to funding sources is accomplished in two ways. First, key elements associated with the Digital Media Academy product lines are presented and can be used to align to funding sources. Second, the federal, state, and private funding overviews provide key statements regarding the funding requirements and the ways that the Digital Media Academy product line is aligned to these statements.

Tools #3 & 4 – Grant Template for Pro Series (Adult/Educator) Courses and Grant Template for Kids/Teens Camps [PDF Documents]

The intent of these documents is to facilitate the writing of a grant application(s) by providing information that you can “cut-and-paste.” When applications require specific formats, these funding assistance documents provide core information to help you quickly complete the process.

All of these tools were created In line with the Digital Media Academy^TM’s goal to make its courses accessible to all who would like to attend. If you do apply for a grant, please contact the Digital Media Academy office at 866-656-3342 or e-mail us at info@digitalmediaaacademy.org. We would be happy to help you in any further way to secure your grant.
