Date & Time: Wednesday, February 18, 2015, 9:30 a.m. – 12 p.m.
The Workshop: This half-day session provides an interactive opportunity for participants to gain first hand knowledge from an experienced grant writer and fundraising strategist. Participants will be taken through the fundamentals of compiling the perfect grant, from writing styles and language to budgets and supplemental materials, with a particular emphasis on BC Arts Council examples. At the conclusion of the workshop, participants will have a practical understanding of where to find funding opportunities, how to align those sources with their needs, how to develop a perfect grant package, and how to take that grant package to the next step.
