Not to discount the lack of money, but sometimes the answer is simply 
because we don't ask. For specific programs and purposes, like a computer 
lab, there are organizations that offer grants. But you have to find out 
about them and apply for them. Mind you, this is not my cup of tea (nor 
that of most educators I know), but I've seen others who get down to 
working on this finding all sorts of money here and there.
