Green St. from noon to 1 p.m. Local experts in various areas share information useful to nonprofit organizations on a variety of topics. There is no cost, and participants are invited to bring their own lunch. Register at tinyurl.com/NPLunchandLearn.  The next one is Wednesday on the basics of grant writing. It will be led byCheryl Keim, MCCF Grants & Community Relations Director.This session will introduce the fundamentals of grant writing for nonprofit organizations, from identifying appropriate funding sources, to crafting a proposal that combines relevant and meaningful data with compelling narrative about the program or project. With thoughtful planning and good organizational skills, grant writing need not be overwhelming. While the content will focus on the MCCF grant process, information will be applicable to most any grant application.  The Lunch & Learn sessions are one-hour educational offerings that take place at the Foundation office, 119 E.
