UNM Development Office to Host Grant Writing Workshop

The University of New Mexico Development Office is sponsoring a grant-writing workshop Jan. 28 – Feb. 1, 2008 conducted by The Grantsmanship Center (TGCI). The workshops will all be held at UNM’s Continuing Education Conference Center, Room G.

The workshop is designed for both novice and experienced grant seekers. The workshop will cover all aspects of searching for grants, writing grant proposals, strategies for securing government and foundation grants, corporate contributions and negotiating with funding sources.

The Grantsmanship Center (TGCI) is the world’s oldest, largest and most respected fund development training organization. Since 1972, TGCI has trained more than 100,000 staff members of nonprofit, government, and academic institutions around the world.

Registration is limited to a total of 30 participants per session, and a limited number of seats have been reserved for UNM employees. The program fee is $875. Early enrollment is encouraged as TGCI workshops often fill to capacity. UNM faculty and staff are eligible to use UNM’s tuition remission benefit to attend.
