Cornell Cooperative Extension to Host Workshop on Grant Writing

Five-day Workshop to Explore Application Process

(Oriskany, NY) 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. To help members of the nonprofit community and government agencies decipher the intricacies of the grant seeking process, the Cornell Cooperative Extension Oneida County will be hosting the Grantsmanship Training Program, February 8 – 12, 2010, at the Farm & Home Center, 121 Second Street, Oriskany, NY 13424. The five-day workshop will be conducted by The Grantsmanship Center, the world’s oldest and largest training organization for the nonprofit sector.

Designed for both novice and experienced grant seekers, this workshop covers all aspects of searching for grants, writing grant proposals and negotiating with funding sources.

To ensure personal attention, registration is limited to 30 participants. The program fee of $895 includes workshop tuition and one year of The Grantsmanship Center Membership benefits and services. Half-tuition scholarships may be available for organizations with annual operating budgets under $300,000.
