This workshop is open to all area nonprofit organizations who wish to learn about the 2019 grant process for IMPACT 100, get tips for writing a successful grant, and be inspired to create a winning project for the 16th year of giving. Â
The workshop will be held on Tuesday, April 16, from 9 a.m.–12:15 p.m. at the Brownsville Community Center, 3200 W. DeSoto Street.

Karin Cox, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Creative Officer of Hartsook Companies, author, nonprofit consultant, national speaker, and child abuse prevention spokesperson will serve as the keynote speaker for this event, which is sponsored in partnership with the Pensacola News Journal.
“Grant Me the Money: Define, Prepare, Apply & Award,†is the focus of Cox’s presentation, drawing on her extensive experience in assisting nonprofit organizations in raising millions of dollars. She will share tips, techniques and best practices for effectively participating in a grant cycle from beginning to end.Â
The workshop will also include information regarding the IMPACT 100 grant application process for 2019 with a review of all required forms and instructions for digital grant submissions. A panel discussion with board members, previous grant recipients, and a construction consultant will cap this event.
