OTF funding application workshops
February 24, 2016
The Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) is hosting free workshops for potential nonprofit grant applicants during the month of March, with a focus specifically on the Seed and Capital Investment Streams.
“Seed grant projects could include conducting feasibility studies, testing new approaches, developing a new idea, or launching a new event,” said Lenka Petric, OTF program manager. “Capital grant activities could include buying and installing equipment, doing renovations or repairs, building structures, or making better use of technological resources.”
The workshops will focus on eligibility, the application and assessment, as well as tips on how to write strong applications.
Sessions close to, or in the Haliburton area include:
Lindsay: Tuesday, March 8 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Community Care Village Housing, 65 Melbourne Street West.
Haliburton: Tuesday, March 15 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Haliburton School of Art and Design Great Hall, 297 College Drive.
