Steps to Success - Grant Writing Workshop for Nebraska Communities to Address Those Eyesore Properties

The Technical Assistance to Brownfields Program at Kansas State University (KSU TAB), the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy (NDEE), and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 7, invite you to attend a free grant writing workshop to learn about writing a successful EPA Brownfield Grant application to address your blighted properties.

Subject matter experts and seasoned grant writers will deconstruct the EPA grant guidelines into manageable “bites”, provide helpful hints and tips how to approach each of the required sections, step you through interactive exercises, and introduce you to helpful resources to make your application stand out. You will walk away with a “to-do” list and timeline for your community’s grant application and will be ready to write a competitive application.
 

Who should attend? 

Nebraska local, regional, and tribal government officials and their grant writers, not-for-profit entities, and other eligible applicants interested in applying for an U.S. EPA Brownfield grant.

What you should bring: 

• A laptop
• Your project ideas
• Your community’s redevelopment priorities
