SUMMARY:Using Data in Grant Writing
DESCRIPTION:Using Data in Grant Writing will help participants understand how to identify\, gather\, and use relevant data to support a successful grant application. Publicly available secondary data can help nonprofit organizations show the need for their programs and services. Data that organizations collect on their program implementation can help demonstrate how effectively they can meet the community need. We will give examples of how organizations can use data in the narrative of their grant application. Participants will learn how using data can help them make a successful case for funding. This training will be presented by Transform Consulting Group. \nREGISTER HERE\n
