Unlock the tools, strategies, and confidence you need to find and win more grant funding.
Join C4C for 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 — this session will share favorite grant writing tools, tactics, and common mistakes to avoid.
The workshop will cover topics including:
Effective ways to search for grants and funders;
The power of a strong organizational description (bring yours for workshopping!) ;
How to use AI wisely in grant writing;
And much more!
There will also be plenty of time for real-time troubleshooting and audience Q&A. Whether you're a nonprofit volunteer, development director, or small business owner, you'll walk away with tangible strategies for discovering funding opportunities and writing compelling grant applications.
This event will take place at The Hub – C4C’s new community workspace in downtown Sisters. Come for light refreshments and networking from 4:30-5 PM, followed by the workshop from 5-6:30.
The workshop is free, but space is limited. Register today!
