Client History: CDW's GetEdFunding - GetEdFunding.com CDW-G, together with its marketing consultant, came to Cuesta with an idea about how it could make the lives of educators easier while seeking funding opportunities.



CDW-G was looking to build a fully comprehensive, easy-to-use website that would allow educators and education nonprofits to find grants by a number of very specific categories, including the ability to search national or state-specific grants by subject, grade level, focus and more.  The backend of the system needed to be powerful and intuitive.  The site would display certain opportunities to any visitor, but only allow registered users to access the complete database of thousands of grant opportunities. The site was so successful in it's first year that it was awarded a Beacon Award by the AEP.  A prestigious award such as this, received after only eight months of operation, reflects history in the making.
