Rep. John Lewis' 5th Congressional District Grants Forum

Atlanta

Preparing Georgia's Nonprofits and Local Governments for Fund-Ability

Free

In today's unpredictable climate, no organization - whether local government or nonprofit organization - is immune from the current economic downturn. These changes have produced both positive and negative effects in various and often unpredictable ways.

How has this impacted grant-making and grant recipient relationships? What tools and tips do your colleagues use? How can local governments and nonprofit organizations prepare for and influence these changes?

Congressman John Lewis' 2010 Grant Forum will help answer these questions and more. Through panelist presentations, a resource fair, and roundtable discussions, this free event is designed to help local governments and nonprofits in the 5th Congressional District of Georgia better understand, effectively identify, and apply for federal and private grants.

Nonprofit organizations and local government entities - don't miss this opportunity to network with your peers and philanthropic partners while gaining valuable insight from their experience and expertise.

Forum participants:

• The Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta
