The Mary H. Weir Public Library will offer a workshop on
Grantseeker Resources Online on Wednesday, December 5, 2012, at 2 pm in the
Library’s Activity Room.
The workshop will explore the many useful features of
GrantSpace.org, a website from the Foundation Center that is free for anyone to
use. GrantSpace brings together related content from other Foundation Center
databases into one space, based on your subject and skill interests. Thus it
enables grantseekers and anyone curious about foundations and philanthropy to
develop fundraising, grantseeking and nonprofit management skills, view webinars
or listen to podcasts, find recent statistical information, and search topic
areas that many foundations and nonprofits specialize in -- even to find job
listings available in the nonprofit and philanthropic sector of the
economy.
Time permitting, other free websites about grantseeking
may also be discussed.
Lois Fundis, Reference Librarian and coordinator of the
Library’s Foundation Center Cooperating Collection, would appreciate it if you
call her at (304) 797-8510 to let her know if you wish to attend.
Knowing how busy the holiday season is for many people, she would also be
willing to e-mail the workshop handout to you.
