Special Presentation: Identifying and Prioritizing Funding Opportunities

In this week’s national call, grant writer Desari Reed with LSIWins presented on strategies to identify and prioritize what kind of funding opportunities regional coalitions might be smart to pursue. Desari is a longtime BFF, having helped AMCC apply for and secure designation as the nation’s manufacturing Community of Practice.

We had some great feedback that more information and strategies on identifying and prioritizing funding opportunities is needed, and how we all do more with the grant writing capacity available to us. More to come on this topic that is important to all of our work!
