About Us
Who are the “Nancys?” We’re Houghton Mifflin Harcourt’s three grant experts, Nancy Jo Mannix, Nancy Slaughter, and Nancy Updegraff.
We’re three career educators who have held leadership positions at the campus, district, and state levels, including school reform, curriculum and instruction, professional development, federal programs, and grant initiatives. Together, we are dedicated to helping school districts secure the funds needed to implement critical student achievement initiatives.
With this site, we’ve compiled a comprehensive knowledge base of useful information about the grants and funding world, including federal programs and the how-to’s of writing a grant. We hope you will use the site to find smart answers to your tough grants and funding questions!
