Interested in finding grant support for a project, but don’t know where to start? How do you locate a grant opportunity? How do you determine if it’s a likely match? What are the key elements of a letter of inquiry and a grant proposal? In two sessions, we’ll provide an overview of the grant-seeking and grant-writing process, along with resources for future learning.
