Grant money can be the key to reaching your nonprofit goals and to funding events that bring in like-minded others. Our Society is launching its Grant Writing Collaborative for the third year. These grant-writing training and teamwork sessions, via Zoom, start Wednesday, Sept. 11, 7:30-9pm Eastern time, and continue on the second Wednesday of the month through June. Here’s what you can expect from the Grant Writing Collaborative, directed by Society Leader Curt Collier:
- Receive information on upcoming grants of interest
- Share grant language and sample grant packages
- Receive help on picking the right project
- Join the pool working on collaborative grants
- Receive help drafting a budget
- Learn how event tiny organizations can have a big impact
- Raise money to support your organization’s mission
