The University of New Mexico Foundation is sponsoring a grant writing workshop Jan. 26-30, 2009 at UNM’s Continuing Education Conference Center. The Grantsmanship Center, Inc. (TGCI), the world’s oldest and largest training organization for the nonprofit sector, will conduct the five-day workshop.
New grants make it possible for cash-strapped agencies to bring important services into the community and get innovative ideas off the ground. Yet applying for and receiving grants is a very competitive process.
“Designed for both novice and experienced grant seekers, the workshops 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,” said UNM Development’s Betsy Till, Director of CFR Operations.
Registration for each session is limited to 30 participants. The program fee is $895 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.
To register for the workshops, or to apply for a scholarship, contact The Grantsmanship Center at (800) 421-9512. Betsy Till, 277-1589, can provide local information.
