Development Office to Host Grant Writing Workshop

The University of New Mexico Development office is sponsoring a grant writing workshop Jan. 12-16 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., at the Development office located at 700 Lomas N.E.

The five-day workshop will be given by The Grantsmanship Center (TGCI), the world’s oldest and largest training organization for the nonprofit sector.

New grants make it possible for agencies to bring important services into the community and get innovative ideas off the ground. However, applying for and receiving grants is a complex, competitive process.The workshop will help members of the nonprofit community and government agencies decipher intricacies of the grant seeking process.

Designed for both the novice and experienced grant seekers, this workshop covers all aspects of searching for grants, writing grant proposals, strategies for securing government and foundation grants, corporate contributions and negotiating with funding sources.

Registration is limited to 27 participants to ensure personal attention. The program fee is $825 ($775 for each additional participant from the same organization) and includes workshop tuition and one year of TGCI membership benefits and services. Partial scholarships may be available for organizations with annual operating budgets under $300,000.
