OKLAHOMA CAPITOL --- The Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives is co-sponsoring a grassroots grant writer training workshop titled “Accessible Funding For Compassionate Ministry: Resources You Can Get A Hold Of” from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Dec. 11 at Crossings Community Church, located at 14600 N.

The one-day workshop is designed to give nonprofit organizations specifics about grant writing that they can take home and put to work. It will provide hands-on methods for increasing resources so that participants can begin to make immediate progress in ministry development in Oklahoma. The workshop is designed to help put faith-based resources quickly within an organization’s grasp.
