Free Grant Writing 2-Day Workshop

Eastern Carolina Council is hosting a free 2-day Grant Writing workshop for members governments on July 10th & 11th (9:00-4:30) for the first 35 people to register.  The workshop will provide opportunities to learn the various types and categories of grants, including federal and private foundation grants, as well as a glossary of terminology.  The workshop will also provide time for attendees to learn the various concepts necessary to develop a grant.

Participants are asked to come with an identified need from their community to develop a grant application.  We will search for available grant opportunities on grants.gov and a local database.

What to expect: Light refreshments will be offered, along with a map of New Bern’s Historic Downtown restaurants - for eating lunch locally on your own.

Please bring your laptop and be pre-registered on grants.gov. 

Optional Resources:

• The Complete Book of Grant Writing by Nancy Smith
• Writing to Win Federal Grants by Cheryl Kester and Karen Cassidy
