Grants 101

About the Workshop: 

Grants 101 is designed to provide attendees with an overview of the grant writing process. Participants will learn about different types of grant funders, the core components of a grant application, common attachments, how to work within their organization to find the information they need, and how to build and manage relationships with funders.

Participants do not need to have any grant experience. Content is intended for early career grant writers and other nonprofit professionals with limited grant writing experience.
