Join Hull House Director Liesl Olson and Curatorial Manager Ross Jordan as they lead an interactive workshop on writing effective archival, community engagement, digital, and other humanities grant proposals.

Learn answers to questions like:

  • How do I formulate an effective proposal?
  • What is the university’s involvement in my grant?
  • What’s the difference between the NEH and the Mellon Foundation?
  • Should I apply for a government grant or with a local arts organization?

A hands-on workshop for participants to share proposal drafts will follow the presentation. Come with your laptop, draft proposals at any stage, and your questions, and we'll help you take the next step towards a successful proposal!
