Register online, in person, or by phone at 330.643.9020. This program is not intended for individuals seeking grants for their own use.

  • Session One: Reverse Engineer Your Grant Applications, Thursday, October 3 — Take the mystery out of grant applications by creating a template for frequently asked questions.  Discover the importance of demonstrating your need and your nonprofit's impact on the community. Dawn takes nearly 30 years of grant writing experience and breaks it into easy-to-digest steps to help you achieve your grant goals. 

  • Session Two: Grant Budgets, Thursday October 17 — Did you know that some grant reviewers look at the budget first to tell the story of your application? Learn how to build a strong grant budget that explains where you stand, where you intend to grow, and what impact a grant will have in achieving your mission. We will discuss the importance of teamwork in building the budget and budget narrative to ensure you are delivering what you promise to grant funder.

  • Session Three: Navigating the World of Grants, Thursday October 31 — Where is the money? For nonprofits looking for new funding opportunities, we will discuss various ways to identify new funding opportunities that are both free and subscription-based. We will discuss pre-award and post-award best practices and funding sustainability.
