Curious about how your school or educational program might begin to seek private funding? Come hear a representative from the Foundation Center-Atlanta discuss the basics of grantseeking and the proposal writing process, including an overview of the different types of private grantmakers, techniques and tools for researching potential funders, and the elements of a standard funding proposal.
The presentation will address:
