Grant-writing Workshops
To provide assistance and a better understanding of the program, its objectives, and the application process, Cultural Services will be conducting two grant-writing workshops. You only need to attend one workshop.
Each workshop will provide an overview of the application form with a focus on writing your project description in response to the evaluation criteria, constructing a realistic budget and the planning details required to support your proposal. These workshops will take place on:
Wednesdays, January 23rd and 30th, 2013, 5:00 to 8:00 pm
Woodwards Heritage Building, 111 West Hastings Street, W Room, 5th Floor
The workshops are open to representatives of organizations or partners eligible to apply to the program (e.g. a staff or board member of an organization, a key artist or administrator involved), have a project or an idea in development, and are seriously intending to submit an application to the March 1st, 2013 deadline.
With a room capacity of 25 places available, a maximum of 2 people per organization may register.
Cultural Services reserves the right to determine final registration based on the above.
