Grant Writing Workshop
Submitted By
Kathy Craigo Special To United
In September, 2008 the Community Foundation of Colusa County hosted a grant writing seminar. As a result of the two day event conducted by Harvey Chess, president of the FTF (First Things First) Group, several of the attendees wanted to build on this experience in a way that would further develop their skills. Thus, the Grant Writers Guild was formed. The group meets the fourth Wednesday of each month at the Felt & White Economic Outreach Offices at 2967 Davison Court, Suite A in Colusa. Foundation Executive Director Ben Felt said the group is open to anyone wishing to learn the craft of grant writing and who is willing to volunteer some time to writing grants for the benefit of the citizens, organizations, and communities within Colusa County. “Some people build their legacy through the donation of money to a worthy cause, and some people create their legacy by the investment of their time. This is an ideal opportunity for retired persons or anyone with the time to devote to it, to do something wonderful for their community. We are all novices in the writing of grants but our goal is to learn the craft together and help each other to perfect the skill, which could potentially develop into a career path,� said Felt. We would like to encourage anyone interested in learning to write grants to join the group. For more information contact Felt at 458-4222.
