On Tuesday, March 18, Laura Huth from the Illinois Student 
Environmental Network will be hosting a GRANTWRITING WORKSHOP FOR 
BEGINNERS. The workshop will be from 7-9PM in the offices of the 
Illinois Student Environmental Network at 110 S. Race, Suite 202 in 
downtown Urbana (SE corner of Race and Main). The workshop fee is a 
sliding scale of whatever participants are able to pay (suggested 
donation: $10-$25). If you're unable to pay a fee, volunteer for ISEN 
for an hour or two instead!

What you'll learn: Learn the basics of writing grants, mostly to 
private foundations. Learn the difference between a letter of inquiry 
and a full proposal, learn to dazzle foundation officers with the 
value of your programs, learn new grantwriting lingo, learn to 
develop foundation relationships, the structure of winning grant 
proposals and inquiry letters, learn how to generate real, measurable 
results, and much, much more. The class is aimed at those persons 
having no or little grantwriting experience. ISEN will provide you 
with handouts and other related materials.

Who should attend: Anyone interested in learning to write grant 
proposals. Grassroots activists, students, those working to develop 
new programs or develop their dreams. Are you in a local group? Could 
they use and infusion of cash? You should attend. The class is aimed 
at those with little or no grantwriting experience.

What to bring: A pad of paper and an interest to learn. I'll do the rest!
