Grant Deadlines Fall Events   Is your team looking for funding for this season?  Don't forget to apply for these three grants.   1. FIRST Washington Grant   -- This is how to gain access to our Oregon fundraising.  Since we have moved to a district model no team has had to pay more than $5,000 to play.  As Steve can attest, some of our teams pay nothing at all, in fact, we send them a check.  This one is due first, Sept. 27th 2. Oregon Department of Education -- This grant has the most flexibility. It can be used for: registration, travel and/or materials .  We still have funds available.  If you are affiliated to a public school I would strongly encourage you to write for this grant.  Deadline Sept. 30th 3. Diversity Learning & Discussion Grant -- This one is sponsored by FIRST Tech Federal Credit Union and is worth $1,000.  You will need one of your main coaches to complete the three training modules....
