Invite: Grant Resources Workshop on October 14

Ami's Updates
Where to find grants and how to use census data for grant writing for non-profit organizations

Listening to you is my most important responsibility, so I held a local budget workshop where community members could participate and propose their own solutions to our nation’s budget problems.
I often hold workshops and events in Sacramento County to help connect local residents with resources and assistance.

The federal government regularly awards grants to states, local governments, and other organizations to help pay for projects that can help local communities and the economy. This makes federal grants a crucial opportunity to make government work for Sacramento County and to help give our economy a boost. However, successfully applying for a grant can be a complicated process, and the competition can be fierce.

To help navigate these challenges, my office is hosting a grant workshop to assist non-profit organizations in the grant application process. In addition, a data specialist from the U.S. Census Bureau will be there to discuss how non-profits can take advantage of public data to improve their chances of successfully competing for a grant.
