MUNCIE, IN—The East Central Indiana Regional Planning District would like to invite you to attend their upcoming training session about the grant writing process. It will take place on January 13th, 2026, and February 3rd, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., at the Innovation Connector, 1208 W. White River Boulevard, Muncie, IN 47303.

The workshop costs $225, which includes all materials and lunch on both days.

The training will focus on drafting and polishing a proposal and navigating the grant process. The two-day Beginner’s Guide to Grant Writing program is a great skill builder for the beginner or intermediate grant writer.

At the end of Day One, you will have created a proposal outline and the resources you need to expand your outline into a full proposal. On Day Two, come with your full proposal, and we will put you into the role of a reviewer, teach you strategies for finding funding, and provide you with an opportunity to polish your proposal and send it in for a strong professional review.

Whether your project is big or small, this workshop will give you the information you need to confidently submit proposals.
