Community Engagement as Practice, Not Paperwork: A Grant Perspectives Workshop

More than ever, funders want to know that when you say “community engagement” you mean real, reciprocal, and respective relationships—not short-sighted connections, email agreements days before the deadline, or theoretical partnerships. But how do you make connections? How do you keep them? And what are community partners really hoping for when they let researchers and scholars in?

Learn about community needs around (1) listening-first communication; (2) sustainable time and money management; and (3) equitable collaboration. Join the Arts & Humanities Grant Studio for this look into how to foster community ties and communicate them to funders. All are welcome to register. Lunch provided!

Please register by Wednesday, February 11 to ensure your spot at the event. Special thanks to the Institute for the Arts & Humanities (IAH) for sponsoring this event. The workshop will be held in Hyde Hall in the Incubator Room at the IAH.
