What does it really look like behind the scenes of a grant writing business?

Presented by 501 Commons in partnership with Spark the Fire Grant Writing Classes, LLC, Inside Grant Writing Businesses offers an honest, practical look at how grant writing businesses are built, sustained, and scaled—and how nonprofits and grant writers can work effectively with them.

In this one-hour live webinar, Allison Jones, M.Ed., GPC, moderates a candid panel conversation with experienced grant writing professionals who bring different perspectives to the table.
