Sign up for the next Lunch & Learn on March 23rd, 2021!
Grant Writing 101 Series: Grant Readiness

In this Lunch & Learn, participants will engage in discussion that will support their readiness to apply for local, state, and federal grants. Participants will receive instruction on the nuances surrounding grant funding, including distinctions between federal, state, and foundation opportunities and applicant eligibility.

And finally, the skills required to find and evaluate whether a grant opportunity is a fit for the project proposed will be covered.

Objectives:
1. Grants: What are they? Who gives them?
2. Project Development: We’ve identified a need - now what?
3. Grant seeking: Locating Potential Sources of Funding
