HOW CAN MY ORGANIZATION GET FUNDING?

NSC does not review grant proposals. There is more to receiving grant funding than writing- your agency's profile in the community, funder knowledge of your program success record, and the relationship you have with each funding agency are just a few issues to consider when putting together a grant proposal. NSC provides knowledge of and training about preparing grant proposals, but you know your organization best.
