Grant funding is of increasing importance to legal aid programs seeking to address their clients’ needs. While larger legal aid programs may have dedicated development staff, many legal aid programs rely on managers and staff to write and manage grants to fund important projects. MIE will present a 90-minute webinar on Thursday, April 4, 2019 from 2:00 – 3:30, for the rest of us who have caseloads, supervisory duties, and administrative or other responsibilities and are also asked to write grant proposals.
