In collaboration with the Energy Communities Interagency Working Group (IWG), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development’s Rural Workforce Innovation Network (RWIN) is hosting a two-part virtual workshop on how to effectively apply for and manage federal grants. The second session of this important webinar series is scheduled for Thursday, April 28 from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. ET.
Part one on April 21st discussed how to prepare and access systems required to apply, including Grants.gov and SAM.gov. Part two on April 28th will feature tips and guidance on successfully applying for federal grants, along with a tutorial on best practices for grants management. If you registered for part one of this workshop, you were automatically registered for part two.
This workshop series is specifically designed for rural communities, including many energy communities, areas that often struggle knowing where to begin applying for much-needed federal assistance. Part two will feature a variety of government speakers and aims to demystify the process of applying for and then successfully managing funding opportunities available across the federal government.
