Piper 101
Piper Trust strongly recommends that all new and prospective grant applicants attend a Piper 101 information session to learn more about the Trust’s mission, funding areas, and what makes a strong proposal.
Piper Trust’s grantmaking process is grounded in relationships, and Piper 101 is a vital first step in building a strong relationship with the Trust’s program staff, who work closely with potential grantees to develop and strengthen their proposals.
Piper 101 information sessions are held via Zoom on the first Wednesday of each month throughout the year. Registration is required. Click the button below to register for an upcoming session.
