Tonight Laura Huth from the Illinois Student
Environmental Network will be hosting a GRANTWRITING WORKSHOP FOR
BEGINNERS. The workshop will be from 7-9PM in the offices of the On the Job Consulting at 115 W. Main in
downtown Urbana. The workshop fee is a
sliding scale of whatever participants are able to pay (suggested
donation: $10-$25). If you're unable to pay a fee, volunteer for ISEN
for an hour or two instead! |
This office is on the 2nd floor of the building that used to house
Chef Jean-Louis's French Restaurant. It's across from the old theater
and Heel-To-Toe shoes. Watch for the sign on the door to go in. There
should be plenty of parking, but this building is right next to the
parking garage, so you can also park in there.
What you'll learn: Learn the basics of writing grants, mostly to
private foundations. Learn the difference between a letter of inquiry
and a full proposal, learn to dazzle foundation officers with the
value of your programs, learn new grantwriting lingo, learn to
develop foundation relationships, the structure of winning grant
proposals and inquiry letters, learn how to generate real, measurable
results, and much, much more. The class is aimed at those persons
having no or little grantwriting experience. ISEN will provide you
with handouts and other related materials.
Who should attend: Anyone interested in learning to write grant
proposals. Grassroots activists, students, those working to develop
new programs or develop their dreams. Are you in a local group? Could
they use and infusion of cash? You should attend. The class is aimed
at those with little or no grantwriting experience.
What to bring: A pad of paper and an interest to learn. I'll do the rest!
To Register: Contact Laura Huth at ISEN at 217-384-0830 or
mailto:isen (at) isenonline.org to reserve your space (or just respond to
this message). Space is limited -- register today!
