EVENT SUMMARY: Throughout the day, attendees can select three 75-minute interactive workshops and discussion sessions led by industry experts from Maryland Nonprofits. Lunch, provided by Light House Bistro, will be served in one of Chesapeake Arts Center’s galleries, offering opportunities for networking and discussions among participants. The day will end with a Funder Panel Q&A session, delving into the grant application preferences of funders.
