The Grants Program at the Foothill-De Anza Community College District encompasses four different areas to assist faculty and staff in consulting, researching, writing assistance, and monitoring grants. At Foothill College, Fred Critchfield, the Director of Economic Development and his Senior Administrative Assistant, Ronnie Griese, support consulting, grant writing, preparing the budget, and compiling the grant proposal packet for State and Federal Grants. Karen Johnson, the Grants Coordinator at the Grants Office at De Anza College, assists De Anza faculty and staff by providing consulting and assistance in writing and developing grant proposals including developing the budget.

The Foundation Office is a great resource for researching private grantor agencies. All private grant funds are deposited into the Foundation in order to track the various grantor agencies. Cheryl Hylton, Associate Director of the Foundation and the rest of the Foothill-De Anza Foundation staff are eager to assist you in your quest to acquire private funds.

Finally, the District Grants Monitor Bret Watson and Accountant, Serena Muindi, have an overall monitoring responsibility for Federal, State, and Local grants. They review all grant proposals before they are signed by Martha Kanter, Chancellor of Foothill-De Anza Community College or Mike Brandy, Vice Chancellor of Business Services, who are the District's authorized signers.
