Kim Patton, training coordinator at the Foundation Center in Washington, D.C., will lead the interactive session on proposal writing. Discussions will include the overall grant-seeking process, what to include in a standard proposal to a foundation, tips for making each section of the proposal stronger, attachments, communicating with funders during the grant process and additional resources on proposal writing.
