About the Workshop
Getting started with grants can be a confusing and time-consuming process. During this hands-on training, you will learn how to find grant makers who support your programs. Participants will be guided on how to build a strategy and navigate grant databases, specifically the Foundation Directory. You will learn how to better connect with your funders by identifying the research needed to build a solid Needs Statement for your grant proposal. This is a free event but requires registration.
