The Verdant Health Commission has partnered with consultant Leslie Silverman to offer free grant applicant coaching sessions for nonprofit organizations seeking funding to support the delivery of healthcare-related services for the residents of South Snohomish County, according to a news release.

Each participating organization can access up to 12 hours of coaching to help them secure funding from public and private funders.

Whether you need a high-level understanding of the grant application process, or you are looking for step-by-step guidance for compelling grant writing, this service will help non-profits to acquire the necessary skills to submit a high-quality grant proposal to funders. This limited service will be offered first come, first served, and early registration is encouraged.

We are pleased to provide this resource for non-profits serving our community.”
