OPGD's District Government Grant Funding Workshop a Success May 22, 2006 Due to the overwhelming response to its Grants Triathlon on May 4, the Mayor's Office of Partnerships and Grants Development (OPGD) presented a District Government Grant Funding Workshop on Thursday, May 11. The morning session began with an in-depth presentation on how to write competitive grants. In addition, local nonprofits learned about the DC One Fund—the District government's only authorized charitable fundraiser—and how to become a designee. Representatives from the Addiction Prevention and Recovery Administration/Office of Prevention and Youth Services, the Department of Human Services, and the Office of Victim Services provided information on current and upcoming grant opportunities, encouraged those interested to attend special pre-application workshops and other training, and informed the audience as to what successful proposals should include.
