It Takes a Village: Collaborative Grantseeking for Economic Development
It Takes a Village: Collaborative Grantseeking for Economic Development

Upcoming: Sep 24, 2025 at 2:00PM EST

Economic development is a complex, multi-faceted process that epitomizes the phrase – it takes a village. No single entity can foster sustainable growth by itself. Instead, economic development is driven by active public and private sector collaboration to create jobs, build infrastructure, and cultivate the area workforce.

Success in these joint ventures generates jobs, boosts tax revenue for public services, enhances quality of life, and builds resilience for local communities. Area businesses also benefit from a supportive growth environment, gaining skilled labor, vital infrastructure, market expansion, and innovation, all boosting profitability and viability for the private sector.

Join our team of Grants Office funding experts as we navigate the grants landscape in economic development. In this 60-minute session, we will explore public and private sector funding opportunities, naming key players and major trends while illustrating how national, regional, and foundation funders prioritize their grantmaking efforts. Along the way, we will share helpful strategies on how to build collaborative grant proposals that involve more than one applicant.

This event is intended for public and private sector audiences in the US and Canada. Whether you belong to a small business, a local government, a community organization, a utility company, or a chamber of commerce, you don’t want to miss this opportunity to improve your grant readiness and help your next economic development proposal stand out amongst the rest.
