Skills and Tools for Securing New Ministry Funding
Utilizing grant funds can be a great way to offset ministry costs. However, finding and applying for grants takes time and effort. In this free webinar led by experienced grant writer Jennifer Lancaster, you will learn how to answer four important questions for every grant opportunity:
- Is it a good fit?
- Are you eligible?
- What does the application require?
- Who will do the work?
This is a free webinar, but registration is required to join live. If you cannot join live but wish to receive a recording of the webinar, we encourage you to register anyway; we will send you a recording.
