Ever despair over how to describe your organization's history, mission, and goals in just one paragraph? Struggle with making the tricky budget narrative reflect the rest of the narrative? Spend an educational morning with your peers to improve your future proposals. Participants will review a proposal provided by the instructor and compare it to the Washington Grantmakers' Common Grant Application guidelines. You will then edit the proposal based upon the discussion and share your improvements in small groups. We will then share feedback on proposals brought in by participants. If you wish to submit a proposal for feedback, bring five copies of a recent Summary or Letter Proposal (four pages maximum).
Instructor: Nora Palmatier
