Designed for staff and volunteers charged with grant writing, this workshop is designed to teach participants how to improve their grant writing skills through comprehensive program planning and design. These sessions will be hosted in the Bayou and are specifically designed for organizations based in Terrebone and Lafourche parishes and Grand Isle.<\/p>\n<p>The first step in writing an effective grant is a well-designed program rooted in community needs with well-defined strategies that will result in the change your organization is seeking.\u00a0 Unfortunately, too many grant writers skip this step resulting in ill-conceived proposals and mediocre writing. A program plan is a road map for writing a compelling grant. In the <strong><em>Program Planning for Grant Writing<\/em><\/strong> workshop, participants will learn how to develop program plans that can easily be used for grant prospecting and writing. Additionally, participants will learn how to respond to the typical questions found in a grant application; write a persuasive case for support; and plan for the grant writing process.<\/p>\n<p>The workshop is on <strong>Tuesday, January 26 at the Terrebonne Parish Library-North Branch <\/strong>located at 4130 West Park Ave. in Gray, LA.\u00a0 The workshop will be offered twice to allow maximum participation. The workshop is free; however, registration is required. Seating is limited and registration will be received on a first-come-first serve basis.<\/p>\n<p>To register, click the time that you would like to attend <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/oeworkshops.kimbia.com\/programplanninggrantam\" target=\"_blank\">9:30 am- 12:00 pm<\/a><\/strong> or <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/oeworkshops.kimbia.com\/programplanninggrantpm\" target=\"_blank\">1:00 pm-3:30 pm<\/a>.<\/strong>\u00a0 Please contact Rachel Swan at <a href=\"mailto:rachel@gnof.org\">rachel@gnof.org<\/a> or 504.598.4663 if you need additional information.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Our Presenter:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/staging.communify.me\/gnof\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6554 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.communify.me\/gnof\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Nora Ellerston\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.communify.me\/gnof\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/staging.communify.me\/gnof\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/1.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Nora Ellertsen is founder of The Funding Seed, a New Orleans-based company that teaches people how to raise money for nonprofit groups.\u00a0 In the ten years she worked in the nonprofit and fundraising field, she helped to raise nearly one million dollars through grassroots fundraising, grant writing, event planning and major donor development.\u00a0Through The Funding Seed, Nora applies the parable, \u201cTeach a man to fish and he has food for a lifetime,\u201d to fundraising.
