In late Spring and Summer 2000, NWHF conducted workshops on Effective Grantwriting and on Program Evaluation. For each workshop, NWHF provided access to top local consultants and focused on specific ideas and projects that participants themselves formulated. Concepts, principles, and specific techniques were outlined by the experts and presented in ways that could be applied directly to their project plan and explored in a hands-on fashion. The Future of Your Organization . Participants had an opportunity to learn effective ways to tell their organization s story, build critical community connections, and develop an organizational business plan that will focus on creating a stable funding base for the important work of their organization.
All workshops are by invitation only.
However, we encourage organizations to make us aware of their interest in attending a workshop. NWHF will host each of these workshops again in 2001. In the end, we hope that participating organizations benefit from these workshops in ways that grow beyond the boundaries of NWHF creating more persuasive, precise program proposals for other funders, designing more effective program evaluation measures that clearly demonstrate the impact of the health services they provide, and obtaining tools and techniques for organizational growth and long range financial stability.
