Join the WE-CAN community of women entrepreneurs for new insights and takeaways on the art of grant writing for small business owners.

Governments at all levels regularly provide grant opportunities to small businesses, these grants occur throughout the year and are designed to support small businesses in a variety of ways including, for example, with their training and development needs.

Female business owners, both new and experienced, sometimes hesitate to apply for grant opportunities due to a lack of experience or confidence with the process.

This 90-minute workshop is designed to build capacity for grant writing within the small business sector, specifically those owned by women. It will introduce owners, managers and staff to a variety of strategies and skills which will increase their comfort and confidence with grant writing.

Each of these strategies can be easily translated into concrete steps and action items. This seminar will increase participant’s readiness to engage with grant writing on behalf of their agencies and businesses.
