Community leaders, nonprofit organizations, and individuals interested in strengthening their ability to secure funding are invited to attend a Capacity Building Through Grant Writing Workshop + Lunch scheduled for April 14 in McGehee.
The workshop will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the McGehee Municipal Building, located at 901 Holly Street. The event is designed to help nonprofit and community-based organizations improve their grant writing skills and learn strategies for identifying and securing funding opportunities.
The session will be led by Dr. Hunter P. Goodman, assistant professor in Community, Workforce and Economic Development with the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture Research and Extension. Goodman will present on the topic “Tools, Sources, and Partnerships,” focusing on practical techniques that organizations can use to locate funding sources, strengthen partnerships, and develop more competitive grant proposals.
