Past event
Join us for a two-day grant proposal writing intensive with Skill Set Partners, LLC. Nonprofits are continually seeking ways to improve delivery of service, community engagement, and programming. Funding to assist with these endeavors is a constant consideration within our budgeting cycles. Seeking grant assistance as a stand-alone agency or in collaboration with other agencies provides opportunities to better provide the services needed throughout our community. This event will be limited to 20 participants. Click HERE for tickets.
