Join us for a casual follow-up to our recent grant writing workshop.
On September 15, C4C hosted “Finding and Applying for Grants” – a free workshop offering practical, real-world strategies to help local organizations discover funding opportunities and write compelling grant applications. Led by The Grant Lab’s Founder and CEO Susan Taylor — a seasoned grant professional with over 20 years of experience and $62 million raised — the session shared favorite grant writing tools, tactics, and common mistakes to avoid.
Now, Susan is generously making herself available for a casual follow-up conversation with local nonprofit and business leaders. Join us for a “lunch and learn” with Susan where we’ll revisit key points from her workshop, pose new questions, and collaboratively troubleshoot your grant writing challenges.
Whether you're a nonprofit volunteer, development director, or small business owner, you'll walk away with new insights and inspiration for finding funding opportunities and writing compelling grant applications.
This event will take place at The Hub – C4C’s new community workspace in downtown Sisters. Bring your own lunch (drinks provided) and your questions for Susan!
This event is free, but space is limited. Register today!
