NAN/TELUS Workshop Update
On Thursday March 25th 2010, the Neighbourhood Arts Network hosted its first workshop. A group of 20 NAN members gathered to hear Jennifer Kirner speak about funding opportunities available from the Telus Toronto Community Board and what is needed in a successful proposal.
Telus is interested to fund both small grassroots initiatives as well as larger projects. Having a youth, technology, or social innovation focus is a must, and forming collaborations with like-minded organizations can encourage a positive response from the review panel.
Kirner emphasized the importance of telling a story of the impact of the organization/project through documenting results and testimonials. With four funding deadlines a year, Telus accepts proposals on a continuous basis. Kirner encouraged organizations to take advantage of the Telus Day of Service, and benefit from the involvement and reach of the company's volunteers.
