Responding to Requests for Proposals (RFPs) - Workshop 2/14/13

Overview  

 

Focusing on RFPs issued by Los Angeles County and the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, this half-day workshop is designed to help non-profits successfully compete for public funding.  It is geared especially for small agencies that may not have submitted prior proposals or that may not have the services of an experienced grant writer.  In an interactive format, the workshop will cover the basics of applying for funding including planning and managing the proposal development timeline, understanding the application questions and how to respond appropriately, asking questions of the funder and monitoring the responses to gain clarity, meeting insurance and other threshold requirements, and many other details that result in a successful proposal.

 

Workshop Leader 

 

Steve Renahan, Senior Policy Advisor at Shelter Partnership, Inc. will conduct the workshop.  Steve has more than twenty-five years of experience designing, managing, and evaluating RFP processes for housing authorities and other public agencies.

Building and Sustaining Partnerships and Collaborations - Workshop 2/20/13
Overview

Discover the 5 keys to success!
Most public funding opportunities require that proposing organizations demonstrate the ability to fully leverage existing community resources in both the initial proposal and the fulfillment of the contract.  This usually means developing relationships with other community service providers. But how do you do that?  What should be the nature of these relationships?  How do you ensure that the relationships last?  These and other tough questions are the focus of this workshop.

Purpose of this Workshop
The goal of this workshop is to assist potential partners in thinking through the collaborative structure and mechanisms necessary to support multi-agency, multi-service projects.  Learn more....

Facilitator and Instructor Training -  2 Day Workshop 3/13 & 3/15/13
Overview

 

What's the difference between a "facilitator" and an "instructor?"

 

Often professionals are asked to facilitate a project planning session or a meeting or teach a course. When do you pull out your "facilitator hat" and when do you put on the "instructor hat," and aren't those hats interchangeable? This hands-on, two-day workshop is designed to define the differences in these roles and give participants the opportunity to practice skills and techniques essential to each.  The training is limited to 20 people and is available for people that are required by their roles to both facilitate work sessions and conduct training.   Read More....
