Event Description


Join us in person for an engaging workshop where you'll discover the secrets to crafting successful funding proposals. Learn how to create winning narratives that resonate emotionally with funders, all while effectively communicating the mission of your project. NeighborSpace stewards will assist you for up and coming funding opportunities like The Safe and Peaceful Communities and other grant applications.



Lauren Woods, the Abundance Director at the Grand Victoria Foundation, brings a wealth of experience from her roles at the Chicago Community Trust, where she led the media and storytelling portfolio, and the Press Forward Initiative in independent journalism. She'll guide you in understanding the significance of compelling storytelling.
