DOVER – Senator Coons joined Senator Carper and Congressman Carney on Monday in hosting a grants workshop and fair at Delaware State University. The event drew more than 200 individuals representing private businesses, government agencies and non-profit organizations. Chris spoke about the importance of collaborating and how that concept goes a long way in securing grants.
“Collaboration. That’s the buzz word that I hope attendees take away from the Congressional delegation’s grants workshop,” said Chris. “With less federal and state money to go around, successful grant writing must focus on how businesses, agencies and non-profit organizations are working together to serve the community.
“Today’s grants workshop and fair was all about creating opportunities for small businesses to grow, and non-profits, schools and other organizations to serve our communities. Researching and applying for grants is a competitive and often times daunting process. The congressional delegation is committed to making that process more accessible and easier to navigate.”
