About

With the evolving coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis, we know it’s a challenging time for everyone. To support your work and ensure our trainings are more accessible during this difficult time, we’re offering this program at an early-bird price of $125. The price increases to $150 on September 13, 2021.

This two-part virtual workshop series will review the basics of an effective grant proposal, the elements necessary to create a project budget, and the best ways to find a fit with a potential funder. Lectures, interactive exercises, take-home assignments, and useful resources will help enhance the skill of beginning writers and seasoned professionals.

Attendees will receive instruction on creating a letter of inquiry, and will get expert suggestions and advice from experienced professionals.

Note: This workshop is limited to registrants from organizations in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. If you are not from one of these areas, you may want to register for one of our other national workshops.
