Many local organziations are making our community a better place to live through the use of state and federal grants. I am a strong supporter of helping these organizations get the skills necessary to successfully apply for grants and efficiently use the funding. There are two upcoming workshops that many people may find useful.

• Governement Grants

  Saturday, March 6

  Lawrence County Courthouse Annex

  430 Court Street

  New Castle, PA 16101

  10 a.m. – 1 p.m.

The state and federal governments have a variety of grant opportunities for programs and services. Learn which agencies offer grants for what kinds of programs and how to find them. Representatives of state and federal agencies will explain the competitive grant process and how to increase the viability of your application.

• Leveraging In-Kind Support

  Saturday, March 27

  Cranberry Municipal Building

  2525 Rochester Road

  Cranberry Township, PA 16066

  10 a.m. - 1 p.m.

Financial support can be hard to come by, but it isn’t the only type of support available to non-profits in the region. Many in-kind support services including student interns, corporate volunteer programs and professional organizations are available. Learn about the different kinds of opportunities that may be helpful to your organization.
