Chesapeake Charities announced a series of training workshops to be held in 2015. The first workshop, “Identifying Grant Opportunities and Aligning Your Program for Grant Success,” will take place on Tuesday, February 24 at Chesapeake Charities’ Stevensville location from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Participants are invited to bring grant applications that they are working on and time will be set aside for one-on-one consultation following the program.
The two-hour program will be led by Linda Kohler, Chesapeake Charities Executive Director, and Mary Ann Gleason, Chesapeake Charities’ Grants and Evaluation Specialist. Kohler has been with Chesapeake Charities since its inception and is a Standards for Excellence Licensed Consultant, one of only seven on the Eastern Shore. Gleason has been writing and sourcing grants for nonprofits on the Eastern Shore for more than a decade.
“Many of the nonprofit organizations under our umbrella are poised for significant growth and the fund advisors are eager to gain the knowledge they will need to move ahead,” said Kohler. “We’re excited about the workshop series because this information will give small nonprofits in this area a real advantage, especially when writing and applying for grants.”
Future workshops will cover social media marketing (April 28) and managing databases (May 20.). All programs will be held at Chesapeake Business Park, 101 Log Canoe Circle in Stevensville, Maryland in Suite N on the 2ndfloor. Seating is limited and you must RSVP by February 17 to reserve a spot.
