FAQs

Your first attendance at a meeting creates your membership.  When you provide your email for future contact, you will be on the email listserv. 

All meetings are free.  The Mentors are passionate about  assisting all non-profits in becoming  competitive grant writers and knowing how to negotiate with funders; hence, we do not collect membership dues or charge for meetings.

The Mentors are an all volunteer group and receives no salary. All presenters and funders volunteer their time at meetings.  

Each year we ask those who have meeting ideas to send them. You can now send them through the website in the Contact area.  

The Collaborative meets  quarterly during the year on the third Wednesday of the particular month. We do not meet in June and July.  Always check the Meeting Notices on the website for current information. Meeting notices are sent by email to all members who have provided their email. 

We encourage everyone to bring a lunch.  We will not be providing lunches. 

The Collaborative holds mini-conferences periodically.  Check the website for announcements for those.  The Quarterly Workshop meetings have been extended in time with a Mentor Corner added.  Read about them on the Meeting Notices page.
