Program to Assist Non-Profits in Writing Grants

College of the Canyons will host a "Meet the Grant-Makers" seminar for Santa Clarita Valley non-profit agencies and local higher-education institutions on Monday, Sept. 30. The seminar is designed to help non-profits learn the ins and outs of seeking additional funding through grants. The event will be held from 10 a.m. to noon in the COC Library's Public Gallery.

Seminar participants will be Fred Ali, president of the Weingart Foundation; Ken Gregorio, senior program officer of the California Community Foundation, and Tony Newhall with the Henry Mayo Newhall Foundation. These "grant makers" will present information regarding their foundation's funding priorities and grant-making guidelines. They will also conduct a question-and-answer session as part of the program.

Admission to the event is free. For additional information and to reserve a spot at the seminar, call the College of the Canyons Foundation at (661) 362-3493.
