Grant Information Sessions in Fall 2012

for 2013 Grant Projects

We strongly encourage you to attend the grant information session for the neighborhood coalition district in which you plan to apply for a grant.

These sessions will help answer questions about who can apply, the application, the review process, what funds can be used for, and each neighborhood district’s unique priorities and requirements.

If you are unable to attend the information for the district in which you plan to apply, we strongly encourage you to contact the grant manager for that neighborhood district coalition.

You don’t need to be an experienced grant writer to apply!

• Click here for our Grant Writing Resource Guide. This is a general guide to grant writing that is provided to encourage your organization to incorporate grant writing as one piece of a diversified organizational fundraising strategy. Included are steps to consider for general grant writing purposes.  While these are skills applicable to helping you develop a grant proposal for the Neighborhood Small Grant Program this grant program is intended to provide a simple grant application process that does not require professional grant writing skills.
