Writing for Grants:

Do foundation and government grants look like a good match for you to apply for production funds? BUT NOW WHAT ? It may look daunting, but it does not have to be.

In this workshop, we will guide you in some of the best practices of grant writing and provide a step-by-step guide. We will review the key elements of any proposal: project summary, about you/your organization, impact, financials. We will discuss “How do I know how much to request?” and will review important and time saving steps in working in portals. This workshop will leave considerable time for your questions. If you are getting ready for your first foray in grant seeking or have had difficulty getting a yes and wondering what else you should be doing, this will be a workshop for you.
