Each year Congressman Jim Moran (8th District, VA) sponsors a free workshop for nonprofits located in Northern Virginia. This year's event will be held in Arlington on July 21 from 8:30 am to 12:00 pm and will provide information on how to access federal grant resources, including stimulus funding, along with other sources of grant support and related nonprofit topics.
The keynote speaker for this workshop will be Michele Jolin, White House Senior Advisor on Social Innovation. She will talk about the new web site Serve.gov, established by the Obama administration to help people find volunteer opportunities, as well as other innovations encouraging Americans to get involved in their communities.
Other speakers include representatives from the Departments of Housing and Urban Development, Health and Human Services, and Justice, talking about their agencies' grant programs. Representatives from the Northern Virginia Community Foundation, Volunteer Fairfax, Arlington Interfaith, and the Alexandria Chamber of Commerce will participate in a panel discussion on nonprofit issues. The director of the Foundation Center-Washington, DC, our own Pat Pasqual, will also give a presentation on finding foundation grants.
The event will be held at the National Rural Electric Cooperative, 4301 Wilson Blvd., Arlington. For more information or to register for the workshop, contact Congressman Moran's Alexandria office by phone at (703) 971-4700, or you can register online.
