Forum Will Help Groups

Seek, Apply for Grants

A forum to help municipalities and nonprofits apply for federal grants is scheduled for 1 p.m. Friday, April 11 at the Martha’s Vineyard Transit Authority meeting room, 11 A Street, Edgartown.

Cong. Will Delahunt will sponsor the workshop, designed to help nonprofit organizations and municipal officials navigate the complex process of applying for federal funding. Representatives from Delahunt’s office and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services will attend.

The workshop will include information on how to use the latest online grants information resources such as Grants.gov, a central clearinghouse for more than 1,000 grant programs and access to approximately $400 billion in annual awards. The program is free and open to the public.

Admission is free. For reservations and further details, call 1-800-794-9911.
