DUNKIRK — The Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation is sponsoring a grantwriting workshop for area nonprofits.

“Grantwriting: Getting your Ducks In A Row” will be held Wednesday, July 28, from 8:30 to 10 a.m. at the SUNY Fredonia Technology Incubator, 214 Central Ave., Dunkirk. Nonprofit representatives and grant writers are encouraged to attend. The workshop will cover developing a project budget that aligns with your project, organizational budgets vs. project budgets, what funders (such as foundations, corporations, and government) are looking for in a project budget, critical document requirements, and avoiding misuse of funds.

Jody Falkner, the workshop facilitator, has an associate’s degree in business from Bryant & Stratton Business Institute and a Micro MBA from the University at Buffalo, and more than 20 years of experience in grant writing and project management. She has gained expertise spanning the full cycle of the grant proposal and management processes through her research and development of grant proposals and budgets for local funders and state and federal government agencies.

In her employment at Erie 2-Chautauqua-Cattaraugus BOCES, Falkner oversees all grant expenditures, procurement and outcome reporting, ensuring all activities are within grant compliance.
