Charitable Foundation executive officer, Graham Batten is encouraging staff and volunteers from local community-based, not-for-profit and Deductable Gift Recipient organisations to attend the free workshop on September 19 at Club Taree.
"The workshop will explain how to apply for grant funding, how applications are assessed, and the types of community projects that have been funded to date," Graham said.
"I encourage anyone who is interested in submitting a grant application to attend one of our workshops. The feedback we've received from past workshop attendees is that what they learned at the workshop was invaluable in preparing their funding application."
