Preparing Special Events Funding Proposals - Tips and Tools!
Kawartha Lakes Special Events Funding Proposals Need Help
Editorial-Suzanne Sholer
Businesses and Groups in Kawartha Lakes need to send in their Special Events Funding Proposals by October 31st. Need Help? Applying for Special Events funding need not be an onerous task. Chances are,if you have run a special event in the past,it may simply be a matter of plugging information into the form, and adding a few tweaks. Earlier this year,I posted an offer of assistance to write proposals for groups and businesses who might find themselves too busy to go through the funding proposal, now time is of the essence! Email me now,so we can get these funding applications in as soon as possible.
Funding Guideline Vocabulary Overwhelming? Solutions Proffered
When speaking with a number of individuals about applying for special events funding,we found there were two predominant responses: people were either:
- Totally lost in the legalese of the guidelines ,or
- Overwhelmed by the length of the document.
Free Special Events Funding Session This Week with M.Cunningham Tourism Development
During a phone interview with Margaret P. Cunningham,Tourism Development Officer,Economic Development ~ City of Kawartha Lakes, Ms. Cunningham advised focussing on the checklist of items,rather than the guidelines. Ms. Cunningham also offered to meet with interested parties on Tuesday morning,or Thursday afternoon or evening, of this coming week to do a quick run through of what is required in the application,and to answer questions.Please email http://scr.im/omemee with your 1st, 2nd & 3rd choices of day and time before Monday at 10 am, to take advantage of this free offer. Confirmation of the date,place,and time will be sent before end of business Monday.

In addition,to Ms. Cunningham's generous offer of assistance, Bill Walker, PUREkawartha, is offering a five hour workshop in mid December,where participants will plan and write two separate sponsorship proposals :one not-for-profit fundraiser. and one an annual community event.
