This two-part grant workshop series is made possible at no cost to participants by funding from the Delta Regional Authority, and is intended to allow local governments and nonprofits to increase their capacity to find, apply for, and administer grants to serve their communities.  

Sessions will be held from 9 am - 4 pm, with a catered lunch available at noon on Friday, October 30th and Friday, November 6th.  Session one will focus on how data about your community can be used to tell a compelling story that strengthens your grant applications and on engaging your community members to form effective partnerships and secure buy-in at all stages of the grant process.  Session two takes a broader look at applying for various grants, helping participants think through several considerations of grant proposals to help participants move from idea to implementation and concludes with the fiscal management practices necessary to complete the work and report your successes to the funder.
