Grant Writing Workshop for Neighborhood Groups

As budgets get tighter and resources scarcer, more neighborhood groups have looked to grants from various sources to fund their work. If this is the case in your neighborhood, you may want to check out a free half-day workshop – “Grant Writing for Neighborhood Groups” – that is being sponsored by the Center for Urban and Regional Affairs (CURA). The workshop takes place Tuesday, September 28, 8:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m. at the Amherst H. Wilder Foundation, 451 Lexington Parkway N., St. Paul. This free workshop offers the opportunity to network with colleagues from other neighborhood groups, find out about new funding resources, and learn what funders look for in reviewing grant applications.
