The seminar offers attendees the rare opportunity to speak with fundraising
experts who will reveal an inside glimpse of successful grant ideas and
proposals that could help local non-profit agencies and educational institutions,
including K-12, community colleges, and four-year universities in the Los
Angeles area.

“Meet the Grant Makers provides an opportunity for local non-profits to learn
about private grant relationships from the best source, the foundation
representatives themselves,” said Elana Edelstein, a grant writer at the
college. “Attendees will gain valuable information on the types of projects
that funders find most compelling and learn the best ways to build a
relationship with a prospective funder.”

A pre-seminar reception will be held at 10 a.m.
The seminar will be from 10:30 a.m.
to 12:30 p.m. at the Santa Clarita
Performing Arts Center, followed by a question and answer session with the
presenters.
