DOVER — More than 200 people came to a workshop hosted by Congressman Carney and Senators Carper and Coons on Monday at Delaware State University designed to help Delawareans better understand the process for finding and securing grants.
This was the second time the delegation hosted the free event, which included two sessions that focused on skills and best practices in grant writing, the grant evaluation process, and securing funding.
“This grant fair and workshop succeeded at forging connections between grant seekers and grant writers,” Senator Coons said. “Researching, writing and applying for grants can be a daunting process, and I’m hopeful that this event made the system easier and more accessible for small business owners, entrepreneurs and non-profits. I look forward to hearing success stories where connections were made, applications were filed, and ultimately grants were awarded.”
