Rep. Drake’s weekly grant e-Notice continues to provide you with the newest and best funding opportunities from the Federal government. With the edition of a “Grant Alert” addendum to these weekly notices, it is Rep. Drake’s hope that you will find these alerts more informative. Each e-Notice will continue to contain the same great funding announcements you are used to, but with an easy-to-read and functional explanation of each funding notice’s application information, eligibility, program contact information, and deadlines in an attached Microsoft© Word ® document. With this new format and service, your suggestions and opinions are welcome and highly appreciated.
Additionally, I would like to remind everyone that Rep. Drake is pleased to provide Letters of Support for your application. In addition to this Congressional Support, Rep. Drake is pleased to contact U.S. Departments and other federal agencies for information on decisions, status checks, and explanations of unfavorable decisions on applications.
* REP. DRAKE IS PLANNING A 3-DAY GRANT WRITING WORKSHOP FOR FAITH-BASED AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS. THE HANDS-ON, INFORMATIVE WORKSHOP WILL COVER THE A-B-C’S OF GRANT WRITING AND FINDING FUNDING SOURCES. THE WORKSHOP WILL BE HELD MONDAY, JULY 23RD THROUGH WEDNESDAY, JULY 25TH, 2007.
