(Omaha, NE) — The Nebraska Arts Council and Humanities Nebraska will lead a series of program overview sessions and grant review workshops beginning this month. Free of charge and open to the public, each event will last approximately 90 minutes, including time for questions and answers. Webinars are also scheduled for those unable to attend the Lincoln or Omaha events.

Material covered during each workshop will help potential and current grant applicants better understand each organization’s mission and the process of applying for grants.

• Program Overview Sessions provide a look into NAC and HN programming, as well as general grant information, including categories, requirements and deadlines. NAC and HN staff will be available for consultation.

• Grant Review Workshops give participants the opportunity to break down and review NAC grant applications through group and individual activities. The goal of this session is to improve participants’ grant-writing skills and familiarity with NAC grant review processes and criteria.

Grant applicants of all levels are encouraged to attend either or both sessions.

 

Registration for onsite workshops is strongly recommended but not required. Registration for webinars is required. Please register 24 hours in advance of each workshop online via SurveyMonkey or email us.
