Grant Writing 101 Workshop
December 2008
In November, the Klamath County Chamber of Commerce teamed up with Trish Seiler and the Klamath Community College to offer Grant Writing 101. The workshop was a great success. One of the participants, Belinda Stewart from the Klamath Water Users Association, said the workshop was very helpful. She said, "Trish was a very knowledgeable instructor and gave us pointers for finding and applying for grants. The most useful part of the class was the attempts we made at writing sections of a sample grant. Trish was able to give us constructive criticism about our samples which was very helpful. I also learned about some publications that will be helpful for building a stronger board of directors which is an integral part of successful grant funding, implementation and follow through. I have already begun ordering materials to help our organization succeed in future grants we may pursue."
If you missed the November date, you still have the opportunity to attend. The Chamber has scheduled the course again for January 17th, 2009, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The course was developed by The Grantsmanship Center of Los Angeles and effectively communicates the components of successful grant proposals.
