Spring Grants Workshops

Laptop with Grants Workshops on the screen.

Spring into action and pursue the grant you hope to obtain for your non-profit organization. We kick off our spring series of grants workshops with the ever-popular “Create a Winning Proposal” session on March 2. Get motivated by learning the ins and outs of applying for grants, the key components to include, and what funders want to know about your project. The session also covers what to do after winning a grant.

Don’t have a funder? We can help there too. Register for the March 31 session exploring electronic and print resources that can help you find information on private foundations and corporations offering grants.

We will host the “Create a Winning Proposal” session on two additional dates this spring, April 19 and May 17.
