Social Impact Institute Learning Lab: Grants 101

Join us for a Social Impact Institute: Learning Lab workshop, "Grants 101: Grant Writing, Grantor Research, and Program Evaluation," where we will demystify the grant seeking process. From proposal narratives to budget forms, from outcome measures to funder relationships, we will cover the all the basics you need to know to submit quality grant proposals to potential funders (and, properly manage your grants once received). Sapna Hencinski, FDO Expert, will also teach participants how to use the Foundation Directory Online, a local resource provided by the Community Foundation that is available to local nonprofits seeking grant funding.

This workshop will be held on Zoom from 9:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m., with a 30-minute lunch break built in. Participants will receive the Zoom link after purchasing their ticket.
