About
ESUSA is pleased to offer its members a complimentary 45 minute session with ESUSA Advancement Consultant Elizabeth Piercey, an experienced El Sistema and arts fundraiser, to support their grant writing efforts this season. Members can request feedback on a specific grant or discuss grant prospecting strategies. This opportunity is meant to support organizations that do not have a professional fundraiser on staff. Sessions are available on a first-come first-serve basis.
*Grant Writing Office Hours are only open to El Sistema USA Member Organizations
Sample Office Hour Topics:
- How do I get started with prospecting and grant writing?
