Particularly in these challenging times, grantseekers need to explore all avenues to secure and diversify their funding. The Lubbock Area Foundation realizes this, so we are going to offer more educational assistance in the way of trainings to help nonprofits to develop more skills in foundation fundraising and gain vital support for the work you do to make a difference in our community.   The trainings will be available on a first come first serve basis, and can be bundled together (all four for $100), or paid for individually.  That way you can attend what you are most interested in and plan according to your availability.
