Are you a not-for-profit organization serving racialized communities looking to enhance your grant writing application skills?

This March, the City of Kitchener, in partnership with Kind Mind Family Wellness, will host a Grant Writing workshop for Racialized Communities, a grant-writing workshop tailored for racialized groups serving racialized communities that teaches the essentials for writing a successful municipal, provincial, and federal grant application.

This free, two-part hybrid workshop is being held on March 28th and April 4th from 6-8 p.m. at Kitchener Public Library and online for those who can’t attend in person. The workshops will cover the basics of effective grant writing. Participants will build their understanding of what information to share in a grant proposal and learn strategies for writing a persuasive case for support and telling the story of their work and its impact. It will also cover specifics related to the City of Kitchener’s Racialized, and Indigenous Supports for Equity (RISE) Fund, which will begin accepting applications on
April 3rd. Workshop participants will receive guidance and support related to their specific grant application challenges and build practical knowledge and transferable skills that can be applied to all future grant applications.

 If you have questions about this workshop, please email Rea Parchment, Senior Anti-Racism Advisor, City of Kitchener.
