ABC (Agencies Building Capacity) Workshop

Getting Ready for Grants will assist nonprofit executive and development professionals in expanding their grant proposal development and funding research skills. This training will give program participants a framework for which to:

• Assess their organization’s readiness to pursue public and private grants.
• Build capacity by helping staff and volunteers understand how they can support grant efforts.
• Research public and private funding opportunities that align with their mission.
• Understand what funders are looking for and how to stand out in a crowd.
• Build realistic grant budgets and apply appropriate writing styles.
• Develop and submit strong, competitive grant proposals.

Our workshop will be led by Ashlie James, Founder and President of Thrive Mission Resources.
