College to Host Free Fundraising Seminar College of the Canyons will host a free fundraising seminar “Meet the Grant Makers” on Oct. 28 with presentations by fundraising experts Sara Montrose from the Weingart Foundation and Jolene Chavira from the California Community Foundation at the Santa Clarita Performing Arts Center. The seminar offers attendees the rare opportunity to speak with fundraising experts who will reveal an inside glimpse of successful grant ideas and proposals that could help local non-profit agencies and educational institutions, including K-12, community colleges, and four-year universities in the Los Angeles area. “Meet the Grant Makers provides an opportunity for local non-profits to learn about private grant relationships from the best source, the foundation representatives themselves,” said Elana Edelstein, a grant writer at the college. “Attendees will gain valuable information on the types of projects that funders find most compelling and learn the best ways to build a relationship with a prospective funder.” A pre-seminar reception will be held at 10 a.m. The seminar will be from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Santa Clarita Performing Arts Center, followed by a question and answer session with the presenters. For more information about the event call (661) 362-3644. To RSVP, email Theresa Zuzevich at theresa.zuzevich@canyons.edu or Elana Edelstein at elana.edelstein@canyons.edu. |
