Pssst. New at the granting game? Learn how to effectively solicit and evaluate proposals. Even if someone has what sounds like a good idea, it's still our job to make wise funding choices That's why we manage grants from the get-go, from approval to closure.

Remember that adage about not reinventing the wheel? It's as true today as it's ever been. We have invited some grantmaking experts and (some of them your peers) to teach some tricks of the trade (proven strategies!), using small group discussions and interactive exercises.
