The Eastern Region will be holding 2 onsite and 2 virtual Project Planning and Development (PPD) Trainings designed to help you initiate a community-based planning process in your community. These trainings will provide you with tools for working with the community to explore long-term planning strategies and define community conditions standing between the community and its long-term goals. The training will also build your capacity to design community-based solutions to address those current community conditions.
These free trainings are designed to provide prospective eligible applicants with skills to plan successful and fundable projects.
Participants will learn how to:
- Work with community and key partners to identify and document specific community conditions that stand in the way of achieving community goals
- Create a project work plan to address those community conditions and attain community goals
- Develop measurable outcomes and impacts that will successfully implement the work plan; and
- Determine the level of resources and funding needed to implement the project.
Participation in the training sessions is limited to individuals who are employed by, or are governing officials of, tribal governments and ANA eligible native nonprofit organizations serving American Indian, Native Hawaiian, Alaskan Native, and Pacific Islander communities. Independent grant writers must provide a signed letter on organization stationery with their registration form in order to attend.
