Are you looking for potential grant funding opportunities? A grant writing workshop series, hosted by Nonprofit Board Training and Resources and the Ford Institute for Community Building, is being offered over the course of four sessions in Roseburg (June 28, July 12, July 26 and Aug. 9) at the Ford Family Foundation’s community training room.

The series is designed to help beginning and intermediate grant writers working in nonprofit and governmental organizations increase their skills in developing project proposals and successfully planning, writing and attaining grant funding.

Grant coach Meredith Howell, a speaker at the Oregon Governor’s Conference on Tourism, will be conducting the “Learn by Doing” training. Howell recently held a half-day grant writing workshop in partnership with Travel Southern Oregon.

Learn more about the workshop series here.
