Advanced Grantseeking Seminar
Are you an advanced grantseeker who is ready to go beyond the basics? This
workshop will help you think past 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 a grantmaker panel
that will review a mock grant proposal. You will gain lots of tips and
strategies for crafting effective proposals.
