AHCMC grants staff will conduct a free grant preparation workshops to instruct prospective applicants on how to complete an application for Grants to Small Arts and Humanities Organizations. AHCMC strongly encourages all potential applicants, including those who have applied for and received grants in the past, to attend this workshop. Changes to FY13 Grant Guidelines will be reviewed, as well as common grant mistakes. However, attendance is not mandatory and whether or not an applicant attended a workshop will not be a factor in evaluating the application.This workshop will also include basic instructions on the use of AHCMC’s online grants system.
