Grants Training and Workshops

The Grants Coordination Division conducts training and workshops for County departments, Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) and Faith-Based Organizations.

Grants Coordination staff convenes Grant Writing and Technical Assistance Workshops for Community-Based Organizations and Faith-Based Organizations annually. Workshops are usually customized for the interest and needs of each audience. Grants staff may target new and emerging CBOs and FBOs with a focus on building capacity and applying for grants.
