Oct. 4, 2004 – Maybe your nonprofit group has already tried to obtain a grant? Maybe you wrote what you considered a masterpiece application, and it didn't seem to be noticed at all? Maybe you didn't get even any feedback, much less a letter saying you will receive a grant? Maybe you've even done it twice?
Help is at hand. Beyond Visions Foundation will hold a preliminary grant development seminar Oct. 14 to assist nonprofit organizations in organizing documents and information to increase chances of success in grant-seeking ventures.
The seminar will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. at Palms Court Harborview Hotel community center room. The fee is $35, with a $5 discount if paid by Friday. Class size is limited to allow for group interaction and participation.
A PowerPoint presentation will include foundation trends, components for a full proposal, information-gathering tips, document preparation gathering, samples of successful letters of interest and grants, understanding foundation philosophy and guidelines, basic dos and don'ts.
For information and to sign up, call 715-4790.
