As a grantwriter, you’re working hard to support your organization and its mission – but are you working as efficiently and effectively as you can? Find the answers to these questions and more at the 2009 PSGA Conference.

With sessions like “Finding Data to Support Your Case Statement,” “Corporate Philanthropy – Today and Tomorrow,” and “Grantwriting as a Business,” seasoned grantwriters will find new takeaways and many opportunities to network with funders and peers.

If you’re new to grantwriting, there’s plenty for you, too. Learn the basics in “Grantwriting 101,” or discover the resources available to you in “Researching Foundations & Corporations.”

With interactive sessions, networking, and numerous handouts, publications and products, there’s truly something for everyone. Your registration includes materials, a continental breakfast, and lunch.
