<H3>FAQs: </H3>
Q: Do I need to attend all 5 workshops?  A: Nope! While it is encouraged to attend all the workshops, it is not required. We understand that you live a busy life and spending 5 nights away from home is difficult. All materials and resources will be made public online. However, each workshop will have staff to answer specific questions. 
 
Q: Will the workshops be boring?   A: No way! Each workshop is designed to be engaging and hands-on. Plus, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet new people and learn about projects happening in your community. You might even meet someone you want to collaborate with! 
 
Q: Who is the intended audience?  A: Anyone and everyone who is looking to gain transferable grant-writing skills including individuals, community-based organizations, nonprofits, businesses, Parent Teacher Associations, Neighborhood Associations, and many more! 
 
Q: Do I need to have any grant writing experience?  A: Nope! This workshop series is meant for first-time grant writers or those who want to brush up on some skills.  
 Q: What skills will I gain?  A: You will gain different grant writing skills at each workshop including how to write a project narrative, create a budget, develop a workplan, and much more! DOEE and partners will be leading all hands-on exercises to help develop your project idea into a reality.   
 
Q: What happens once the workshop series is over?  A: You will be able to use your freshly acquired skills to apply for a Community Stormwater Solutions grant to fund your project! Each project can get up to $20,000!
 
Q: What is stormwater and why does it need to be managed?  A: Stormwater runoff occurs when rain and snowmelt does not get absorbed into the ground. This happens more in places with impervious surfaces (such as streets, parking lots, driveways, sidewalks, and rooftops). Can you think of a place like this?  DC is more than 40% impervious! Stormwater runoff causes problems like pollution, flooding, and erosion. Want to learn more? Join this workshop series! 
 Q: I don’t know anything about the environment. Can I still come?  A: Of course! The Community Stormwater Solutions program is a great way for everyone to get involved and learn about the environment. This grant program started in 2016 with the goal of expanding DOEE’s work with community partners by supporting projects that are inspired and supported by the community. 
 Q: I have more questions. Who do I talk to?  A: Contact Kara Pennino at DOEE! She can be reached by email or phone: <A HREF="mailto:kara.pennino@dc.gov" TARGET="_blank" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">kara.pennino@dc.gov</A> / 202-654-6131
