Grant Center Discussion Forum Is Now Live
January 10, 2013
The Grant Center is excited to announce the launch of the Grant Center Forum. We hope that this discussion board, hosted on the Grant Center website, will be a valuable resource through which you can discuss grantseeking tips and techniques, share resources and tools, and connect with other public media grant professionals. There is a lot of collective knowledge in the public media grant community, and we hope that the Grant Center Forum will provide an opportunity to bring it together for everyone's benefit.
A number of discussion threads have already been created. When you become a Forum member, you will be able to join these conversations about grant opportunity procedures, sustainability, and designing partnerships, and you'll be able to start your own topic to get feedback and assistance from your peers. We encourage you to check the Forum often to see new discussion topics, add your perspective, and ask the questions that are most pressing to you.
