ST. JOHN, Kan. — Stafford County Economic Development will host a Grant Writing Class on Friday, February 13 from 9 am – 3 pm at the Stafford County Annex. This class is aimed at helping nonprofits and community organizations strengthen their fundraising strategies and improve grant success. This will be lead by Executive Director Ryan Russell.
The workshop will guide participants through how to focus organizational goals, identify appropriate funding opportunities, and understand what funders are looking for in a strong proposal. Attendees will gain practical insight into building a funding strategy, avoiding common grant-writing pitfalls, and clearly communicating project impact.
“This class is designed to help organizations feel more confident and intentional about pursuing not only grants, but to have an overall financial strategy for their organization,” said Ryan Russell, Executive Director of Stafford County Economic Development. “Many groups have strong missions but struggle with where to start. This workshop will provide tools to help turn good ideas into competitive proposals.”
The event is open to nonprofits and community-focused organizations. Those from Stafford County are free while those coming from outside Stafford County should be prepared to pay $30. There will be a lite lunch provided. The event will be held from 9 am – 3 pm at the Stafford County Annex at 210 E. 3rd Ave., St. John, KS 67576.
