About This Webinar

Schools differ from other community nonprofits in important ways, including legal status, income sources, and governance structures. These differences impact how you might approach seeking and applying for grant funding. In this session, Partners for Rural Impact's Johna Rodgers and Amanda Paveglio will offer "pro tips" for school personnel who want to bring grant funds to their school or classroom.
