Want to learn how to get grants for your community projects and nonprofit organizations?  You are invited to register for a free grant writing workshop sponsored by the City of Inglewood on Saturday, August from 11am to 1pm.  This interactive workshop will be held in Gladys Waddingham Theater at the library, 101 W. Manchester Blvd., Inglewood, CA 90301.
 
There are millions of dollars in grants available to support charitable organizations and programs that benefit the public.  This workshop provides an overview of how to find grants available from government, foundation and corporate funders that relate to your programs.
 
The federal government gives grants through 26 different departments, and many of those departments have multiple divisions that offer grants at the local level.  Private foundations gave more than $58 billion in grants to nonprofit organizations in 2015, supporting a wide range of small and large nonprofits, public and private schools, city departments and programs operated by faith-based organizations.
 
The workshop will be presented by LaQuetta Shamblee, author of The Grantbuilder™: Step-by-Step Guide to Grant Writing Workbook.  For the past three years, she used the workbook to teach a 10-week grant writing class in the Nonprofit Fundraising and Leadership Program at UCLA Extension.    She will share an easy-to-follow, five-step process that involves 10 basic building blocks of information that you can use to prepare any type of grant application.
 
In two hours, you will learn how to locate grants using the internet and other free resources.  It covers how to find grants that are the best fit for your program, as well as the steps to prepare and submit online and hard copy grant proposals to funders.  The session will cover a broad range of grants of interest to artists, musicians, professional educators, government offices and churches that operate programs that service the community.  Funding categories are even broader, including education, job development, health services, low-income, seniors, social services, S.T.E.M., youth and more.
 
Each attendee will receive a handout that lists several upcoming grant opportunities.  Free parking is available in two parking lots adjacent to the library for this Saturday workshop.  Seating is limited, so register early.  If you register online by Saturday, August 13th, you will be entered for a chance to win a free copy of The Grantbuilder™ 200-page workbook.  For additional information and to register online, visit:  www.TheGrantbuilder.com
 
A special thanks to the individuals who worked together to bring this opportunity to the community, starting with Phyllis Battle, jazz recording artist and Inglewood Arts Commissioner (representing District 3, Councilmember Eloy Morales, Jr.).  She approached the author about presenting a free workshop and contacted city staff.  Sabrina Barnes, Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services; Helen Ressick, Public Art Consultant; and Joel Rane, Head Librarian swang into action.  They are acknowledged for their swift coordination to provide Inglewood residents and other locals with a chance to learn how to tap into millions available in grants to fund nonprofits and community programs.
