The Delaware SWCD is pleased to announce that registration is now open for “Grant Writing 101/102: Finding the Right Funder and Writing a Winning Proposal.”

The interactive workshop, sponsored by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency’s (OEPA) Office of Environmental Education and the Delaware Soil and Water Conservation District, will run from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 14, 2020.  Event location is the Frank B. Willis Building, 2079 U.S. Route 23 North, Delaware, OH 43015. The first part of the workshop is entitled, “Finding the Right Funder.” Participants will learn prospecting tips to help them identify foundations, corporations, and government grant programs, along with how to best approach the various types of grantmakers.  “Writing a Winning Proposal,” will be the focus of the second half of the workshop.  Avoiding common mistakes will be discussed, as well as how to develop realistic objectives, activities, and budgets.
