EC has been contacted about a large donation of hand sanitizer available for programs. Peter Thomas Roth has both 2oz and 6oz bottles of hand sanitizer for donation and can arrange to have them delivered to you. Please reach out to Tobi if you're interested in getting some for your program.
CityHarvest Workshop: Intro to Grant Writing
Start the New Year off by growing your grant writing skills and learning about what funders look for in a great application! Join City Harvest and our hosts at the Support Center for a three-part grant workshop series. In this workshop, you will discuss what makes a project compelling to a funder, and how to paint a vibrant picture of your organization and programs through the limited format of a typical proposal.
Register here. Please note that session 1 took place in January. For a summary, please contact Raffaella at rglasser@cityharvest.org.
We encourage you to attend the two remaining sessions if you are able.
