Registration deadline nears for grant writing workshop

CHEYENNE – The registration deadline for the comprehensive grant writing training Get That Grant: Grant Writing from Conception to Completion is Sept. 12.

Presented by Community Systems of Bozeman, Mont., the workshop will address all aspects of successful grant seeking including developing and assessing proposal ideas, generating support for grant applications, designing and writing exemplary grant proposals, editing and submitting grant proposals, and surviving the proposal review process. Special attention is given to technical components of grant proposals that are closely reviewed by funders.

Jo Ferguson of the Wyoming Rural Development Council, the workshop sponsor, said the program is indispensible for entities interested in learning the grant writing process.

“The information presented at this workshop can really help communities and organizations learn the detailed ins and outs of successful grant writing,” said Ferguson. “The presenters really know what they’re talking about and I expect participants will truly benefit from the information they receive.”

The workshop will be held at the Historic Plains Hotel in Cheyenne, Oct. 6-9.

Workshop participants will receive a Community Systems grant writing training/resource manual, and extensive individual consultation during the workshop as well as a follow-up critique of their grant proposals.
