Grant Sustainability

Check back for Fall 2019 | Time and Location TBA

Innovative programs are frequently started through a grant or other one-time funding, but often dissolve once the funding ends. Learn how to continue these great programs. This full-day workshop will result in participants increasing their knowledge, understanding, and skills in program sustainability.

Who Should Attend

The workshop is designed to build skills for those who are interested in developing sustainability into program design or increasing sustainability for existing programs.

• How sustainability can be incorporated into the program design.
• Strategies for developing partnerships to increase sustainability.

• Strategies for creating buy-in and ownership by stakeholders.

Participants will also:
