Whether you’re a small business or nonprofit organization exploring grant funding for the first time, or looking to sharpen your skills, this session will walk through the essential elements funders expect to see, from project planning and need statements to budgets, evaluation, and sustainability.
Participants will engage in guided discussions, table activities, and real-world examples to better understand how to tell a clear, compelling, and competitive story in a grant application. You’ll leave with a stronger understanding of how grant applications are structured, what reviewers look for, and how to organize your ideas before and during the writing process.

No prior grant-writing experience is required.
