ENGAGING VOICES-FROM LISTENING TO LASTING IMPACT:

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND GRANT SUSTAINABILITY

We invite you to join us for an interactive session focused on the power of community voice in shaping sustainable grant strategies. This meeting will explore effective techniques for gathering meaningful input from the communities we serve and how to translate that input into compelling, competitive grant proposals. Learn how authentic engagement not only strengthens funding applications but also builds lasting impact and trust. Whether you're a seasoned grant writer or new to community-based work, this discussion will offer practical tools and inspiration to deepen your approach.

Nestor Ortiz helps empower organizations, institutions, and nonprofits that support historically marginalized and disenfranchised communities by providing practical tools and expertise to weather current challenges and chart a clear course towards lasting impact.
