These workshops are designed for anyone associated with a nonprofit organization in Stevens County that is ready to be actively involved in fundraising for the organization. The workshops are an integrated series but can be taken individually. Classes cost $20 per session and the labs are a onetime fee of $10.00 for any or all of the labs.  However, if a participant wants to take all four workshops and pays prior to the first session, they will save $20.00 and only pay $60.00 for the series.  Partial and full scholarships are available thanks to a grant from the Inland Northwest Community Foundation. 

The classes do fill up quickly, so register as soon as you know you want to come. Instructors for the workshops are Gael Treesiwin, Grant and Fund Development Coach for WSU Stevens County Extension, an AmeriCorps VISTA and Angie Crawford, Crawford Financial, LLC.  Together they have over 26 years of experience helping nonprofit organizations raise money and develop sustainable funding systems. 

Coaching labs for your specific projects will be held in between sessions to be scheduled with the instructors and participants. “The coaching labs are designed for each participant to apply what they have learned in the workshops directly to their organization’s specific needs. For example, we can go on-line and research and find grants specifically to fund your projects” Gael Treesiwin instructor, explains.

“I am most excited about the networking and collaboration that happens in the classes and the labs. Much collaboration for raising money and sharing resources always come out of these new relationships!” Gael Treesiwin
