Here is a possible grant opportunity. The average Foundation grant is $25,000. 
but they have also given out grants upwards of $100,000.

"The RGK Foundation is inviting proposals in the broad areas of education, 
community, and health and medicine.

"The foundation's primary interests include formal K-12 education (particularly 
math, science, and reading), teacher development, literacy, and higher 
education."

The new power is not money in the hands of a few, but information in the hands 
of the many. - John Naisbitt, Megatrends

The Internet may be the world's greatest library, but let's face it - all the 
books are scattered on the floor.  - D.C. Denison, Boston Globe

Getting information off the Internet is like taking a drink from a fire hydrant. 
- Mitchell Kapor

To save man from the morass of propaganda, in my opinion, is one of the chief 
aims of education. Education must enable one to sift and weigh evidence, to 
discern the true from the false, the real from the unreal, and the facts from 
the fiction ... The function of education, therefore, is to teach one to think 
intensively and to think critically. - Martin Luther King, Jr. The Purpose of 
Education
