Grants Cafe: Grant Writing & Training Funding for Smaller PA Municipalities

Presented by Grant Professionals of Western PA

The “Municipal Grant Assistance Program Act” (House Bill No. 1560) has passed through several Committees in the PA House of Representatives and is pending passage (as of this posting). This legislation addresses a gap in expertise and resources for smaller municipalities to pursue economic development grants by offering funding assistance through the Department of Community and Economic Development to hire professional grant writers and trainers registered with the PA Bureau of Charitable Organizations. This session will provide up-to-date information about the content and status of this legislation, and a discussion of the possible impact. Federal grant issues and dilemmas may also be discussed as time allows.

Presenter: Katherine FH Heart, GPC, M.Ed., is a Grant Consultant/Writer and GPA Approved Trainer at Heart Resources, LLC. She has provided comprehensive grant services and training to nonprofits and municipalities in Western PA and nationally for 23 years.
