While there is no one magic formula to use when writing grants, there are many best practices to lean on that will heighten your chances for success. Join Independent Grant Writer and CNE consultant member, Laurie Rogers, to learn practical and proven techniques to strengthen your grant writing power and secure funds for your organization.

Participants will walk away with:
