Advanced Grantseeking Seminar
This course is for individuals who want information beyond
the basics of grantseeking. The program will help seasoned grantseekers
think beyond the obvious to identify potential new sources of grant support
and develop successful proposals that get funded.
Taught by a grantseeking expert, the seminar will include both grantmaker
and grantseeker panels and will provide tips and strategies for crafting
effective proposals.
Register early! MCF's seminars fill quickly, often 4-6 weeks before the
seminar date, and are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
