North Dakota State University Extension will host a two-part interactive Beginner’s Guide to Grant Writing workshop from 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Sept. 30 and Nov. 4 at the Carnegie Center in Minot.

The two-day workshop teaches grant writers of all skill levels how to prepare and submit a professional proposal, according to NDSU Extension. It is geared toward agricultural producers and those who work or volunteer for nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, community clubs, or local government units and departments. Participants will learn how to develop ideas for winning grant proposals, how to identify and work with funding sources, and advance their understanding of the proposal development, submission and review process. Professional review of a draft proposal is also included.

On Sept. 30 participants will come to the workshop with an idea and leave with a proposal outline and all the resources needed to expand their outline into a full proposal. They will return on Nov. 4 with a draft proposal ready for peer review.

The cost to participate is $150, which includes lunch each day and all materials. The workshop has a capacity for up to 20 people. Registration is required by Sept. 23. To register, contact NDSU Extension-Ward County.
