Grant & Charter Sales

Open the door to grant- & charter-funded families

Systems, outreach, and workflows so your education business can accept orders using state and federal funds.

At a glance

If you serve homeschool or charter school families, there’s a good chance many of them are using state grants or charter school funds to pay for learning programs and materials.

But those funds can only be spent with approved vendors. That means even when families want to buy from you, they may not be able to, simply because you’re not an approved vendor.

Academy Solutions helps you build that sales channel: the approvals, the documentation, the follow-up, and the order workflows—so funded families can say yes, and you don’t have to become a grants administrator to make it happen.

What are grant & charter sales?

Many states and charter networks give families funding that can be used for approved educational products and programs. Instead of paying out of pocket, families submit purchase requests through their school or a funding platform. 

For you as a business, this means:

  • More paperwork

  • Different ordering systems

  • New billing requirements

The opportunity for sales is significant, but the work is detailed, repetitive, and time-consuming. And it’s usually not what founders want to spend their energy on.

That’s where we step in.

What we handle for you

A done-for-you setup designed to open this sales channel and make it operationally simple to run, typically achieved on a 12-week timeline.

Grant & Charter Purchase Page

We create a dedicated page on your website that clearly explains how schools and families can purchase from you using funding, so you’re not answering the same questions repeatedly.

Vendor Packet & Pricing Sheets

We design the vendor materials programs typically require, including product catalogs, pricing sheets, and standard school forms.

Product Positioning for Funding Approval

We refine your product descriptions and educational positioning, reviewed by our Director of Education, so your offering aligns with what programs are actually looking to approve.

Order & Fulfillment Workflows

We build clear SOPs so funded orders move smoothly through your existing fulfillment or digital delivery systems without disrupting how your business already runs.

Platform Integrations

If a program requires backend platforms like ClassWallet, our team works directly with you to complete the technical setup and testing.

Dedicated Inbox

We set up a separate, organized inbox for grant and charter communication and orders, so nothing gets lost and everything stays easy to track.

Direct Outreach to Programs

We personally reach out to up to 300 grant and charter programs from our contact list to submit your vendor information and start the approval process.

Vendor Onboarding

When programs approve you, we handle the final steps like direct deposit setup, ordering portal access, and agreement completion so you don’t have to chase down paperwork.

Three Months of Follow Up

We follow up with contacted programs for three months, with twice-weekly outreach to answer questions, provide documents, and keep applications moving forward.

Pricing

Includes all setup work, materials, outreach, onboarding, and three months of follow-up.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • This setup is a great fit if you: 

    • Serve homeschool families or provide elementary-aged learning opportunities 

    • Offer curriculum, programs, or learning tools that align with education funding guidelines

    • Are getting questions about grants or charter purchasing (or expect to soon) 

    • Don’t want to build a whole new admin process just to access funded families

    • Would rather focus on product and growth than vendor paperwork and portals 

  • Some clients prefer to manage purchase orders themselves once approvals are in place. Others prefer to keep the full flow off their plates. 

    If ongoing support is helpful, you can continue working with Academy Solutions through our Virtual Support services for: 

    • Managing your schools and grants inbox 

    • Processing purchase orders 

    • Sending orders to fulfillment

    • Submitting invoices or billing through required platforms 

    This can be added after setup if and when it’s helpful for you. 

  • No, we work with physical products, digital programs, curriculum, and hybrid models, as long as they align with typical education funding guidelines.

  • Most of the active setup and outreach happens over about three months. During that time, we build your vendor materials, complete outreach, and follow up with programs as they review your information and onboarding requests. 

    Some programs respond quickly, while others take longer, but by the end of the engagement you’ll have systems, relationships, and approvals in progress.

  • We’ll ask for basic business information and access to key documents, product details, pricing, and a login to your website so we can build your grant and charter page and vendor materials. We guide you through exactly what we need and keep requests simple and organized. 

  • Usually no. We design the grant and charter order process to fit into your current physical or digital delivery systems whenever possible, so you’re not rebuilding how your business runs just to support funded orders.

  • Grant and charter programs each make their own vendor approval decisions, so no one can guarantee acceptance or purchase orders. 

    What we do control is how well your business is positioned and represented. That’s why we’re selective about who we take on for this program. Before getting started, we review your product and sales model to make sure grant and charter funding is a strong fit, so you’re not investing in a channel that doesn’t align with what programs typically approve. 

    Our goal is to give you the strongest possible foundation and real momentum, not just to submit applications and hope for the best.
