URBANA - Grant writing doesn't have to be overwhelming for non-profits or local governments, said a University of Illinois Extension community and economic development educator.
"The Illinois ResourceNet (IRN) is holding a conference that focuses on connecting Illinois communities to federal grant opportunities through partnerships," said Terry Feinberg.
The conference will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 20 at the Northfield Inn and Suites Hotel in Springfield. Registration is $25 and can be completed (http://www.illinoisresource.net) online. Registration is limited.
"Some of the breakout sessions will include topics such as housing, workforce development, disaster mitigation, and economic development," she said.
Illinois ResourceNet is a partnership between the University of Illinois-Chicago Great Cities Institute/Neighborhoods Initiative and U of I Extension.
