Seminar Title

“Finding Your Community or Non-Profit Organization

the Money to Make Things Happen”

Description

Sure, every municipality needs more money! But there are very few communities that have taken the time to prioritize needs; identify key projects; and line up the funding, partners and other support necessary to meet those needs.

Triad Associates has been providing grant and community development services to municipalities throughout New Jersey and the Mid-Atlantic region for more than 28 years. This panel presentation, from some of Triad’s top professionals, will help your community create a simple process for identifying and managing your grant and funding priorities. You will hear from the experts about some secrets of good grant writing and a few important lessons to learn when applying for public funds.

Michael Zumpino, Triad’s President; Steve Lingle, who manages the firm’s grant writing department; and Tammy Wetzel, Triad’s in-house expert on non-profit and foundation grants will highlight the approach to writing a successful municipal grant. Come and hear how your community or non-profit organization can be more effective in finding the money to make things happen!
