Interested in applying for state grants but not sure where to start? MCN and the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development aim to help organizations who do not have experience in applying for and receiving state grants by providing free online trainings on these topics.
- Grantwriting 101
- Proposal Components
- Budgets
You’ll leave with a better understanding of:
- How to determine the true cost of your proposed program
- Common grant cost categories and what expenses fall into each category
- How to best describe the ways in which your organization will use the funds requested, what your organization’s financial management capacity is, and how you will sustain the services beyond the grant period.
