Hello,

The City of Kitchener has partnered with Kind Minds Family Wellness to deliver a grant writing workshop tailored to Black, Indigenous, and Racialized communities that teaches the essentials for writing a successful municipal, provincial, and federal grant application.

This workshop may be for you if you are a not-for-profit organization serving racialized and Indigenous communities and are looking to enhance your grant writing application skills.

This free, two-part, virtual workshop is being held on August 9 and 16 from 6-7:30 p.m. and 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 later this summer. 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.

Registration is required to participate. To register online, visit ActiveNet.
