I am interested in the training offered on grant writing and can attend the webinar on Sept 14, 2010. Please let me know if there is any charge associated with attending this webinar training or any of the other training offerings. I think receiving information/ training through webinar attendance is very convenient. I appreciate that the training information will also be available following the webinar. Thank you.

September’s webinar on grant writing, Date: Tuesday, September 14, 2010
Time: 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm EDT
What are the bandwidth requirements? I am working from a cellular connection that is not that great.
Comment by andrew ware — August 18, 2010 @ 4:23 pm
@andrew: The recommended connection is: cable modem, DSL or better Internet connection. The event is being recorded, so if you experience connection problems, you should be able to watch the recording on a slower connection.
Hope this helps – we look forward to having you there.

I am interested in the grant writing topic, however I have never participated in a webinar. Is it necessary to have video/audio tranmission or am I able to simply listen to it?
Comment by patti — August 29, 2010 @ 8:49 am
@patti: You don’t need to have a microphone or webcam. You will be able to either listen via phone or via computer speakers. When you join the webinar, you’ll see the dial-in instructions in the “audio” box.

I am very much interested in this webinar training, however September 14th is not an available date due to my schedule. Are there any other dates available?

I am a grant writer for the San Antonio Police Department and just completed watching the Making Dollars & Sense – Grants 1.0 webinar presented by Michael E. Zagury. This has to be one of the best presentations I have seen on the basics of Grant application solicitations, research, applying, and planning for funding.
Is there any way to get a copy of this slide presentation (with audio) for our Police Department? We have developed this reputation of good programs, management, and implementation of grant awards. This I presentation can be used as a tool for our agency to develop further programs.
Thank you,
