Grant Writers Gathering

2nd Wednesday of each month

Grant writers have asked for their own networking group, where their specialized interests and responsibilities can be addressed through communicating with their peers.  This group is administered by Giving Monadnock, which sends out the meeting notices.  The group determines the topic of discussion for each meeting, the meeting host and the meeting facilitator.  Meeting locations will alternate between the eastern and western Monadnock region.  Anyone involved with grant writing is welcome to attend.
