SOBRE ESTE EPISÓDIO
In this episode of STREAMline LIVE, host Shawn “SciShawn” Petty sits down with STEMfinity’s Bids & Grants Team—Jeni Kay, Erin Fry, and Angie Pellot—to demystify the world of education grant writing and funding strategy .
This fast-paced, practical conversation pulls back the curtain on how to find the right grants, what reviewers are really looking for, and how to prepare your program before you ever start writing. The team shares real-world insights on crafting stronger narratives, aligning budgets, avoiding common pitfalls, and positioning your organization for long-term funding success.
Shawn and the team also tackle a question many districts and organizations face: how to get STEMfinity on an approved vendor list—and why vendor readiness matters when grants are on the line. The episode features a “What’s Hot & What’s Not?” lightning round on current STEM funding trends, followed by a focused “STEM in 60” segment that breaks down one essential grant skill educators can use immediately.
Whether you’re an afterschool leader, district administrator, librarian, or nonprofit program director, you’ll walk away with actionable next steps, clearer confidence around grants, and a better understanding of how STEMfinity supports programs from discovery to submission.
