Ohio Environmental Education Fund Grant-Writing Workshop Scheduled in Erie County
How do you find funding for your environmental education project or program? And once you find it, how do you write a winning grant proposal?
These questions will be answered during a two-part Ohio Environmental Education Fund grant-writing workshop on Thursday, June 25, 2015, at the Erie County Services Complex. The event will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the complexs basement kitchen, 2900 Columbus Ave., Sandusky.
The first session, called Grant Writing 101: Finding the Right Funder, will help participants identify foundations, corporations and government grant programs and approach different kinds of grant-makers.
The second session, Grant Writing 102: Writing a Winning Proposal, covers the common mistakes applicants make and how to develop realistic objectives, activities and budgets. The Ohio Environmental Education Fund will be covered in this session.
The workshop is free, but registration is required. To register, email Dennis Clement at [email protected]. For information, email Dennis Clement or call (614) 644-2048.
The workshop is sponsored by the Erie County Solid Waste Management District, Erie Soil and Water Conservation Service, Environmental Education Council of Ohio (EECO) Region 2 and Ohio EPAs Office of Environmental Education. Morning beverages and lunch will be provided by the Erie County Solid Waste Management District.
