Project Description

The Grant Writing Workshop will be offered to staff from all Prince George’s County municipalities. The purpose of project is to:

  • Enhance Grant Acquisition Skills: Equip participants with the knowledge to identify and successfully apply for relevant grants.
  • Strengthen Proposal Writing Abilities: Improve participants’ skills in writing effective and compelling grant proposals and effectively communicate their project details.
  • Improve Grant Management Competencies: Train participants in best practices for efficient grant fund utilization and project execution in compliance with grant agreements.
  • The goal is to ensure participants gain a comprehensive understanding of the grant process, how to communicate their project needs, and how to prioritize funding opportunities thereby enhancing municipalities’ capacity to secure funding for municipal projects. A comprehensive post-training package that includes both general grant writing guidelines and a specialized set of resources tailored to address issues or topics identified during the training will be provided.


The Municipal Grant Writing Workshop was held on February 18, March 4 and 18, and April 1, 2026.
