The Greater Hazleton Chamber of Commerce is offering a seminar entitled The Foundations of Grant Writing on Wednesday, January 25th.

Maria Jacketti, CEO of Mountain Laurel Copywriting and Content Creation will explain the fundamentals of grant-writing, while delivering a forecast for national, state and private-sector grant writing.

During the 1990s, Jacketti and her husband, Wayne C. Funk successfully wrote nearly $10 million in grants in health care and education. Over a generation, some critical aspects of grant writing have changed while other hurdles of these fiscal quests remain constant.

During this seminar you will learn what can work for your organization and how to leverage your grant writing power during this critically competitive era in funding.

The seminar will be from 9 am to 10 am at the Greater Hazleton Chamber of Commerce office, 20 W. Broad Street in Downtown Hazleton. Chamber member rate to attend is $10 and the non member rate is $15. Registration is required by registering on the Chamber’s online calendar at www.hazletonchamber.org or by contacting the Chamber at 455-1509 or .
