Grant *Writing* Workshops in Your Community

Permalink 07/18/08 16:19 , Categories: Workshops, Community Resources

The Foundation Center at TCCL provides workshops on grant seeking for nonprofits (next class, August 7, 1:30-3:30), which often leads to questions about grant writing. Though we don’t have any grant writing workshops planned at this time, there several other organizations in our community that offer such classes.

Following are a few upcoming opportunities. These are not presented in partnership with the Tulsa City County Library (therefore, please view this post as information, not an endorsement).

Does your nonprofit need new grant prospects?

Join us for the next Grant Seeking Basics for Nonprofits class and learn how to use library (i.e. free!) resources to find funding your nonprofit’s important projects. The workshop will be offered July 22, 1:30-3:30 p.m., in the Computer Training Room of the Central Library. Pre-registration is required.

This hands-on workshop provides nonprofit managers, employees and volunteers with the basic knowledge needed to seek grants. We will explore the Foundation Directory Online, the library’s database of foundations. The Foundation Directory allows you to save grant-maker profiles, so bring a USB drive or disc (you can purchase blank CDs at the library for $1).

Space is limited to 24 participants, so please register in advance! Call 596-7940 or email jgreb@tulsalibrary.org to sign up.
