Deep Dive Grant Writing Workshop
2025-06-25 10:00 - 13:00 | Five Points Center for Active Adults, 2000 Noble Road, Raleigh, NC, 27608, United States
The Deep Dive Grant Writing Workshop is a three-hour session for nonprofit staff to learn about grant writing from the funder’s perspective. The workshop will focus on writing grant narratives, responding to open-ended questions that funders often ask. Using narrative questions from the Raleigh Arts Commission’s grant application, we’ll discuss effective ways to tell funders about your organization. We’ll cover how to write about your hopes and dreams, your triumphs and challenges, in a straightforward way that helps funders better understand your organization and programming. You’ll leave this workshop with new ideas and more effective ways to tell your story in a grant narrative.
Expect lots of discussion and learning from your fellow workshop participants. Join us!
