Lancaster state reps to host grant workshop for small businesses, nonprofits
State Reps. Ismail Smith-Wade-El and Nikki Rivera, both D-Lancaster, will host a workshop to help small businesses and nonprofits secure state grant funding.
The workshop is scheduled to be held from 9:30 a.m.-1 p.m. on Sept. 2 at the Conference Center at IU-13, 1020 New Holland Ave in Lancaster.
“This workshop’s goal is to give local organizations the tools to craft successful state grant applications,” Smith-Wade-El said in a statement. “We hope this workshop will help bring home our taxpayer dollars to support organizations and initiatives strengthening our community.”
Representatives from local organizations and state agencies as well as fundraising professionals will speak at the workshop about available funding opportunities, grant writing tips, and relationship building strategies to help organizations submit successful applications.
“As a former high school Spanish teacher, I know that using the right grammar and vocabulary is essential to being understood,” said Rivera. “This workshop will help applicants speak the language of grant writing so reviewers can instantly recognize the value of local projects and organizations.”
Smith-Wade-El and Rivera will both be present at the workshop to answer questions about state services and agencies.
