Description
This hands-on workshop will equip not-for-profit professionals of any experience level to:
Assess and strengthen their organization's readiness for competitive grantseeking
Improve their understanding of the mechanics of proposal writing and preparation
Strategize effective ways to build a sustainable pipeline of grants revenue
