Event description
Grants often sound like “free money,” but what’s the real story? Are they just for nonprofits—or can for-profit businesses benefit too? In this workshop, we’ll demystify the world of grants and help you understand whether pursuing grant funding is the right move for your business or organization.
You’ll learn:
- The different types of grants available (federal, state, local, private)
- Who qualifies and what funders are really looking for
- The pros and cons of using grants to fund your work
- What the application process actually involves
- Common myths and red flags to watch out for
This session is perfect for entrepreneurs, small business owners, and nonprofit leaders who want a no-nonsense look at how grants work—and how to determine if they’re worth your time.
