A great many companies give grants to 501(c)3 foundations.

A school is NOT a 501(c)3.

However, many school systems have one or more 501(c)3 foundations that are setup to support the school. Those foundations MAY be eligible to serve as a conduit for the grant.

For example, in our school district many schools have football booster or band booster foundations at the school. In our district we have a general academic foundation available to all the district schools. This particular foundation is setup to specifically access grants such as Best Buy and other similar organizations that give grants to academically oriented 501(c)3 foundations.
