Kealakehe High School and the North Hawaii Education and Research Center (NHERC) and will host a Grantsmanship Training Program in Kailua-Kona from Oct. 1-5

This five-day workshop for grantseekers at public and private nonprofit organizations takes participants through the entire grants process, from identifying the right funders to preparing airtight grant applications.

The course will be presented by The Grantmanship Center, which has trained thousands of staff from private nonprofit organizations and government agencies throughout the United States, as well as in Africa, Europe, Latin America, and the Caribbean, since 1972.

The Grantsmanship Training Program uses the Grantsmanship Center’s Listen and Discuss, Do & Review curriculum, proven to maximize retention.

Throughout the workshop, participants put into practice what they are learning.

Because the training focuses on the specific needs of the individual participants and provides personal attention, registration is limited to 30.

Tuition for the Grantsmanship Training Program is $895 ($845 for each additional registration from the same organization). A limited number of partial scholarships are available for qualified agencies.

To register for the Grantsmanship Training Program, to get more information, or to apply for a partial scholarship, contact The Grantsmanship Center at (800) 421-9512 or www.tgci.com.
