Purpose
The Friday Grants Clinic is a monthly technical assistance session designed to provide ongoing support for current federal grantees and/or organizations planning to apply for federal grants. We roll up our sleeves and help you work through any issues you’re facing-big or small.
Attendance is limited to six people per session to allow for a deep small group conversation. Participants will learn not only from the session moderator, Dave Farley, but also from the other attendees’ experiences. Networking and sharing best practices is strongly encouraged.
The Friday Grants Clinic is held via conference call. Upon registration, you will receive the conference call-in instructions as well as a pre-call questionnaire form. The questionnaire helps us better understand your needs and allows us to prepare for our conversation.
Who Should Participate?
Anyone responsible for managing federal grants and/or organizational leadership of local governments, school districts and nonprofit organizations.
