Grant Readiness Academy Participants: Explore These Funding Resources

The Miles College Women’s Business Center Grant Readiness Academy is moving from grant research to proposal development.

During our July 16 session, participants were encouraged to identify a grant opportunity that aligns with their business, nonprofit organization, project, or community initiative. Before the next session, participants should review available opportunities, confirm eligibility requirements, and select at least one grant they would like to pursue.

During the next academy session, we will begin working on the proposal development process.
