The Organizational and Professional Development Grants (formerly Organizational Development Grants) are intended to fund the business side of the arts including strategic planning and implementation, consulting services for marketing and fundraising, and technology upgrades as well as training and conference attendance for staff and board members. We hope that by renaming the grant program and offering the option of an extended grant period, arts organizations take advantage of this opportunity to help move their groups to the next level. Please refer to the updated application and guidelines posted on Grants Page for detailed information.
The Grants Research and Training Center will sponsor a free workshop for nonprofit organizations, Proposal Writing Basics and How to Approach a Foundation, on Thursday, April 19, 2012. The event will be held at the Fairfax County Government Center, 12000 Government Center Parkway, Fairfax, VA 22035 in Conference Rooms 9/10 from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. The first half the session will cover what to include in a standard proposal and tips for making your proposal stronger. The second half will describe how to effectively communicate with funders during the grant process.
