Anyone Can Write a Grant

Thursday, September 19, 2013, 2:00 pm EDT / 1:00 pm CDT

In this Demco sponsored webcast, Catherine Hakala-Ausperk from Libraries Thrive Consulting joins Demco’s Director of Industry Relations, Janet Nelson, to discuss how anyone can write grants for their library.

Could your library use some extra money? Don’t eliminate grants as an option just because you aren’t a professional grant writer! Although grant writing can be a scary idea, the pros far outweigh the cons and anyone can do it. Following a few easy steps, you and others on your staff can pool your skills to create an effective, successful proposal — and start bringing in some more money for your library!

In this webinar, you’ll learn to:

• Break the grant writing process down into simple steps
• Bring staff skills together to build an effective “Grants Team”
• Understand the pitfalls of grant writing — and how to avoid them
• Implement helpful tips that lead to success, and money
  

With advice on these areas and with extra tips from some experts, this grants workshop will help everyone take that very first step in finding and getting additional funding for their work. There will also be a chance for you to ask questions about Cathy’s approach to writing grants.
