GRANTS 101 with Eh-den Perlove

Are you unsure where to start in the grant process? Well, Grants 101 is for you! Join us as we explore the different types, parts, and needs of each grant. We discuss how to write a grant, what granters are looking for, and how to look for funding. No previous experience with grants is required for this course.

This is similar to our Grants course from 2022. If you took this course last year, take it again as a refresher OR skip ahead to Grants 102 on April 20!

GRANTS 102 with Eh-den Perlove

A follow up course from Grants 101, GRANTS 102 will be a live workshop session. 

Join us in this small group setting as we dissect specific grant samples and questions together as a group. Be prepared to ask questions and work together to understand better the nuances of writing different parts of a grant. This class will be limited to 20 people to work in more detail.*

 

*The live workshop is now SOLD OUT! If you purchased a ticket just to Grants 102, you will be a part of the live workshop. If you purchased an all-access pass, you will still get to tune in and watch the class or watch the recording after the fact; you just won’t be a part of the live participation.

It is highly recommended that you take Grants 101 on March 30th first. If you took the Grants class last year, you’re good to go!
