Question 1

Who is hosting this seminar?

Accepted Answer

The City of Walnut Creek’s Arts and Recreation Department, Social Services and Recreation Division, along with sponsors, are hosting this seminar in response to the growing need for grant writing support among nonprofits and local agencies. This free training was created to help meet that need.

Question 2

How can this be free?

Accepted Answer

Primarily due to sponsorships and support from the community. We are still seeking sponsors for the Silver, Gold and Platinum packages. Please see the information in the "Overview" section above.

Question 3

Will I see a schedule or agenda for the day?

Accepted Answer

We will post an agenda on this website once we receive the information.

Yes! Local restaurants and grocery stores are a 1-5 minute drive away from our facility. We also have a fridge and microwave for food storage options during the seminar.
