Grant Writing Workshops this weekend

As the Alternate Director for Area 'D' of the Cariboo Regional District - taxpayers of Area 'D' contributed funds for drinks/snacks at this weekend's Grant Writing Workshops here in Williams Lake/100 Mile House and if you reside in Area 'D' and are part of a non-profit group - I strongly encourage you to attend one of the grant writing workshops as stronger written grant applications typically can lead to more successful grant approvals.  Details are below:

The Northern Interior Communities Association (NICA) and Cariboo Regional District (CRD) will co-host two grant writing workshops in August 2013 for community groups, organizations and charities from the Cariboo Chilcotin.

The workshops will focus on how to write successful applications for the BC Community Gaming Grants program. There are two upcoming sector intakes including Public Safety and Environment from July 1 to Aug. 31, and the Human and Social Services envelope which will be open from Aug. 1 through Nov. 30. Both of these intakes will be discussed during the sessions. The sessions will also provide valuable grant writing basics which can be applied to all funding program applications.
