Nuts and bolts of grant writing

The Nuts and Bolts of Grant Seeking and Grant Writing
From identifying funding prospects, establishing relationships with funders, and evaluating and communicating results to funders and the community; to planning, writing, and submitting proposals, and leveraging relationships with funders and community members; and managing the projects and relationships with funders once funding is awarded—these are the nuts and bolts of grant seeking and grant writing. We addressed the details of crafting a project proposal, implementing funded projects, the pros and cons of hiring a grant writer and more. We also heard community examples from Tara Mozsziez, Danforth Livable Communities.
