<p class="MsoNormal">So you want to get a grant. The Library of Michigan is putting on workshop series on grant writing this May with Karren Reish as the facilitator. “Grant Writing 101 - How to Craft a Great Proposal” will cover understanding funder priorities,
planning a project and writing a proposal that showcases your project and abilities. How can you meet grant funder expectations when you apply for a grant? What do they need to see in your application? What can you learn from their program priorities? What
will get your application flagged in the wrong way? Come learn about how the grant application and review process work and how that impacts your interactions with potential funders. Bring grant ideas to discuss and learn good grant application habits. Be prepared
to review sample proposals! <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The workshop will be held in 4 locations and are each from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
