Last week we hosted our first Grants.gov webinar. It was a learning experience, both in terms of the format and the content. (Note to self: figure out how to work around the conference call audio next time!).
It was somewhat overwhelming to listen to Michael Pellegrino discuss the steps in the Grants.gov registration process. So as soon as I got back to my desk, I scoured the site to locate the registration checklist Michael mentioned. Here it is!

You’ll see in the sidebar there, on the right under “Upcoming Classes,” that we have a Foundation Directory Basics class coming up in May.

Learning how to use the Foundation Directory Online should be one of the first things you do when you begin to explore the world of grants. If you do not have anyone to write to, what’s the sense in writing? Learning how to effectively search the Foundation Directory Online is key to finding those potential funders to read your well crafted proposals.
The class, Foundation Directory Online Basics, is a free, one hour introduction to the Foundation Directory Online. Participants learn how to use the database’s various search screens and search fields to craft a focused search for funders. Why don’t you join us next month?
