This multi-part series from our Municipal Operations Support team provides a practical, large-scale perspective on the phases of preparing for, pursuing, writing, and implementing grants. It also provides perspectives and tips from funders. Each session begins with a presentation then transitions to a participant Q&A where attendees ask questions of the presenter(s).
Setting priorities and selecting the right projects are cornerstones for winning grants. Successful projects are built on the pillars of strong leadership, communication, organization, coordination, and partnership. Use this training to learn how to implement these pillars while turning ideas into successful projects.
