Securing Support: Navigating the Grant Landscape for Arts and Cultural Orgs

Join us for a grant writing workshop designed to maximize funding for your next arts, history, or cultural project!

Guided by Boise-based grant consultants Laura Hull and Natalia DiGiosia of Premio Services Inc., this workshop is designed to empower you with the knowledge of a grant professional.

Learn proven strategies to secure, sustain, and scale funding for your mission-driven programs and projects in an increasingly complex grants landscape, including executive orders, funding freezes, and shifting compliance requirements. Along with up-to-date information, this workshop will provide insights into how to navigate these national changes.

This workshop is designed for Boise-based arts, cultural, and history-focused nonprofits of any size or individuals working in these fields. While this workshop is divided into two tracks, all resources will be provided to attendees.

Please Note: These are concurrent sessions. PLEASE ONLY SELECT ONE or invite a friend or colleague to attend the concurrent session.

• Track 1 - Grant Readiness & Writing: Designed for smaller or emerging nonprofits, this session will help identify gaps in your organization's grant readiness and provide resources and tips for successful grant research and writing, including crafting winning proposals and best practices for cultivating funder relationships.

• Track 2 - Grant Writing & Management: Designed for larger or established nonprofits, this session will build on Grant Readiness and include tips for winning well-aligned grants, efficient grants management, and sustaining and scaling programs for a healthy grants portfolio.

The Grant Writing Workshop will take place IN PERSON in the Maryanne Jordan Council Chambers on the third floor of Boise City Hall (150 N Capitol Blvd.).
