Tuesday, November 12, 2019 9:30 AM–12:00 PM  Main (Oakland)

There are plenty of myths and misconceptions surrounding grants, and confusion about whether there are grants available for individuals to start-up a small business or nonprofit.  This presentation will address these issues and also provide scenarios that prove the exceptions and reinforce the importance of being resourceful in pursuing your plans.  We will discuss: (1) differences between grants and other funding options such as loans and crowdfunding; (2) how to recognize grant schemes and scams on the Internet; and (3) resources for getting your plans off the ground.

This presentation is for anyone who wants to learn more about grants and other funding.  Takeaways include PowerPoint notes, start-up plan worksheet, and a resource list for further assistance.
