About this Event

Turn grant writing into grant winning.

Whether you're writing your first grant or looking to strengthen your organization's funding strategy, Read It. Write It. Fund It. is an interactive workshop designed to move beyond theory and into practical application.

Participants will learn how to identify funding opportunities, understand grant guidelines, develop competitive proposals, and experience the grant review process from both the applicant and funder perspectives.

This is not a lecture.

It's an immersive learning experience where you'll collaborate with nonprofit professionals, complete a mock grant application, and serve as a grant reviewer using a professional scoring rubric.

You'll leave with practical tools, increased confidence, and strategies you can immediately apply to your organization.
