Learn the art of grantwriting to raise money for your cause! With increased competition for grant resources in a down economy, it is vital that grantwriters prepare proposals that are both polished and compelling. In this introduction to grant research and writing, those with little to no grantwriting experience will be taken through the proposal process from start to finish. Participants will learn the steps for researching government and private grant sources, connecting with potential grant funders, developing a “pitch” and message, writing about the project, gathering supplemental materials for grant applications, and developing a program budget. The day-long seminar will provide opportunities for hands-on practice with exercises in an interactive setting. This class will lay the foundation for successful grantwriting – and increased confidence – with a better understanding of the grant process.

This fall, the Massachusetts Nonprofit Network and Associated Grant Makers are once again partnering to host a second annual joint statewide nonprofit conference. Nonprofit Innovation: Doing things Differently – Doing Different Things will bring together nonprofit organizations as well as consultants and foundations to bolster their knowledge of effective practices thus strengthening their ability to carry out their mission and work.
Innovation has been, and will continue to be, an omnipresent theme for nonprofits throughout the Commonwealth. In these times, a creative lens is paramount to organizational sustainability and significant change. In 2010, the symposium comprises 24 workshops chosen from over 70 proposals that exemplify both “Innovation” (cutting edge, new thinking) and “What Works” (best practices that have been tried across several situations and organizations). This year, a minimum of 650 individuals are expected to attend and take part in this exciting opportunity.

The Institute for Comprehensive Community Development was established to advance the field of comprehensive community development and the positive impact it has in urban and rural communities across the country. They do this by:
- Building the capacity of community development practitioners;
- Providing on-site support and technical assistance to comprehensive community development initiatives in cities across the U.S.;
- Applying lessons learned through research and performance evaluation to continually improve on-going comprehensive community development initiatives and to develop new initiatives;
- Supporting the development of public policies which integrate government programs in order to effectively facilitate and support comprehensive community development;
- Communicating broadly the best there is in practice and theory in the field of community development.
The Institute is a place where the community development field can take what it learns from practice and use it as a base from which to provide training, to promote research in comprehensive community development, and to investigate the public policies that would best advance this work locally and nationally. The Institute is the locus where practice and theory meet, and where experimentation and innovation – grounded in real-world experience – flourish.

Partners in Community Development since 1969
The National Development Council is the oldest national non-profit community and economic development organizations in the U.S. It was founded in 1969 with one purpose: increasing the flow of capital for investment, jobs and community development to under served urban and rural areas across the country. Since that time, NDC has worked with thousands of communities in every one of the 50 states and Puerto Rico, providing technical assistance, professional training, investment in affordable housing, small business financing and direct developer services. Our work has taken many forms, but we have kept pace with the needs of our constituents, adding new programs and services or updating old ones.
A complete list of NDC trainings are available here.
