21 Regional Funders to Participate in 2002 Funders’ Forum

LEWISTON - With money becoming more scarce and the needs of the people who benefit from non-profit organizations becoming greater, Lewis-Clark State College’s Institute for Community Development & Office of Sponsored Programs will be putting on a two-day workshop called Developing Successful Grants for Local Projects and Funders’ Forum 2002.

The first day of the program, titled Developing Successful Grants for Local Projects, will cover such topics as beginning and advanced grant-writing techniques. On day two, called the Funders’ Forum, 21 members of agencies and foundations that fund projects in North Central Idaho and Eastern Washington will talk about funding priorities, application procedures, and what makes a successful grant.

Among those will be representatives of Foundation Northwest, Idaho Heritage Foundation, Idaho Children's Trust, Idaho & Washington Commission on the Arts and Idaho & Washington Commission on the Humanities. These representatives also will be available to interact with workshop participants during the break.

The event will be held in LCSC’s Williams Conference Center on June 17 and 18. Registration is limited. The cost for the early-bird non-credit registration is only $65.00 (by 5/31/02) for the two-day program, which includes lunches. After 5/31, the cost will be $80.00.

For more information and a printable registration form, visit the web site at http://www.lcsc.edu/icd/fundersforum/02.htm, where you can see the agenda, names of the presenters, who should attend and how teachers and others can get credit for the course.

This promises to be a valuable and well-attended workshop, given the current economic climate and the sponsors look forward to working with all organizations that can benefit from it.
