Funding and Federal Programs

IT GRANTS

DOF Creations (DOF) specializes in building holistic IT solutions, covering everything from cybersecurity and software to the
grant funding that can pay for these projects.

We’ve worked to help school districts take advantage of the federal dollars available to them that fund technology improvements (including E-Rate and grants). Since 2020, our focus has been ESSER funding (because the funding rules for K-12 technology have changed frequently) and school security (since cyber and physical attacks on K-12 both grew exponentially). 

As educational challenges continue to evolve, we’ve helped our schools manage problems from school connectivity and communications solutions for distance learning to digital teaching resources for the classroom, and IT support across campus when short-staffed. 

At DOF, we build a custom solution for each district they support. Some require help to find and manage federal funding, while others need them to work side by side on a unique technology problem. We are always willing to adjust as your needs and challenges do. 

We’ve become that grant resource. Through our many grant partnerships, we help our customers simplify the grant process from start to finish and take away the time draining, painful efforts that make most potential applicants shy away from the grant altogether. Because of this, millions of dollars a year are left unspent and un-won. Instead of saying “uncle” and walking away from funding that can support vital and transformative projects for you and your organization, let us help you.

Cyberinfrastructure Grant

“Advancing Campus Cyberinfrastructure: Empowering Science and Research in STEM Education,” co-hosted by DOF Creations and Extreme Networks.

The Campus Cyberinfrastructure (CC*) program, a visionary initiative that seeks to revolutionize cyberinfrastructure at the campus level to support scientific applications and distributed research projects. Emphasizing the importance of inclusivity, the program addresses learning and workforce development (LWD) in cyberinfrastructure while striving to bridge the digital divide across various geographic locations.
DOF Creations and Extreme Network explore the seven program areas and shed light on the funding opportunities that could help fuel the next wave of innovation in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) research and education.
