This year's Readers' Survey was conducted at Edutopia.org March 26-April 30, 2008. Participants responded to questions in their own words, and their answers were tabulated to yield the top three to five vote getters in each category. The top responses for each question appear with voting buttons to encourage our visitors to participate further.

Although one perplexed user wanted to know, "Who is this elusive Grant everyone talks about?" most had a pretty good idea of where to go to look for him. Among a handful of question marks and "You tell me" replies, there lay a veritable trove of grant-info sites that would surely thrill the most cash-strapped and downtrodden among us.
Responses varied widely based on academic subject area and location, from the National Science Teachers Association to "My state's department of education" to even the Culinary Trust (for those Edible Schoolyard types out there).
To those who responded, "I don't know" -- and especially to the one who said, "I don't know and don't want to!" -- check out our choices: Edutopia, GrantsAlert.com, Grants.gov, and the U.S. Department of Education. Here are a few extra ideas from other readers:
