Grant-writing workshop, Thursdays, Oct. 6 & Nov. 17, 8:30-4:30 p.m., Learning Network Computer Lab

Purdue Cooperative Extension is offering an introductory course on preparing grant proposals.

The Beginner’s Guide to Grant Writing Workshop teaches grant writers of all skill levels how to prepare and submit a professional proposal. The workshop takes place from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Thursdays, Oct. 6, and Nov. 17, 2011, at Purdue Extension’s Learning Network of Clinton County, 1111 S. Jackson St., Frankfort, IN 46041. The two-day workshop is geared toward those who work for non-profit organizations and government agencies. Participants will learn how to develop ideas for winning grant proposals, identify and work with funding sources, and understand the proposal development, submission and review process. Help also is available throughout the year to those who have attended the class.

“Participants in previous workshops have received millions of dollars in funding, allowing them to expand their facilities, buy computers and technical equipment, and increase their services,” says Peggy Hosea of the Purdue Center for Regional Development (PCRD) and workshop coordinator.

Registration is $150 per person and includes a workbook, reference materials in CD format, and lunch on both days.
