In January 2008 Congresswoman Allyson Schwartz (D-13) offered grant workshops for nonprofit organizations. I'm told they were well-attended. It is a popular topic and I've seen those terms a number of times in site usage stats; people continue to look for information on the topic.
Schwartz is hosting another round of workshops on June 16th and 17th. Registration info and details on time / place on her press releases, which describes the workshops as:
The agenda for the seminars includes a comprehensive overview of navigating federal search engines, conducting foundation and corporate research, tailoring proposals to specific funding sources and an introduction to local Foundation Centers’ resources. These seminars will also help organizations better learn to navigate the federal grants system which offers more than 1,000 grant programs and access to approximately $400 billion in annual awards.
Each seminar will include plenty of time for questions, and a complimentary continental breakfast and lunch is provided. The seminars are a follow up to the highly successful grants seminars that Representative Schwartz hosted in 2007 and 2008, which attracted hundreds of participants.
Experts scheduled to present include:
o Jay Blackwell, director of the Capacity Building Division. Office of Minority Health Resource Center, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
o Yvette Davis, director, Johnson UGO Foundation Library
o Lawrence Greene, archives & special collections librarian, Montgomery County Community College Foundation Library
