Expect a practical breakdown of what’s needed to submit a strong application and what to expect after you hit “send.” \nSome topics we’ll cover: \n\nWhat makes a project eligible\nWhat the fund actually pays for\nHow much you can apply for\nWhat to include in your application\n\nRound 5 is now open. Applications are due May 16. Decisions will be announced June 30. \nJoin us on April 23 to get the details and ask your questions.
