Nonprofit organizations and eligible public sector direct service organizations interested in applying for a grant from the DeKalb County Community Foundation are invited to a free workshop on January 13, 2021, from 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. The workshop will take place online via Zoom. An attendance link and audio instructions will be sent upon registration. RSVP to attend by January 4.

Workshop attendees will learn valuable tips and strategies to increase their chances of receiving funding from the Foundation’s various grant programs.
