Workshops

As part of our grantmaking to nonprofit groups, we attempt to provide useful and informative orientation workshops to potential grantseekers. We will offer these sessions before each of our quarterly rounds of grantmaking.

The next deadline for invited proposals is January 15, 2009. Grantseekers are asked to submit our Letter of Inquiry by the beginning of December for the January deadline.

If you are interested in knowing more about our priorities and our process, you are invited to attend one of two identical sessions which will are scheduled as follows:

  • Friday, November 21, 2008, from 3:00 pm to 4:15 pm at Community Solutions Association, 320 High Street, NE, Warren, OH   44481.
  • Tuesday, November 25, 2008, from 10:00 am to 11:15 am at The Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County, 305 Wick Avenue, Youngstown, OH   44503.

Because space is limited at the sessions, we ask that you RSVP to Cheryl Crooks at 330-394-5600 or CCrooks@RJWeanFdn.org.

Resources

We encourage organizations to pursue all available sources to secure funding to continue their worthwhile endeavors. One source of information to assist grantseekers is the Foundation Center located in Cleveland, Ohio. The Foundation Center offers print and electronic reference resources designed to meet research needs. Of special interest to Ohio nonprofits is the Guide to Ohio Grantmakers, a reference directory that is published by the Foundation Center in cooperation with Ohio Grantmakers Forum and the Ohio Association of Nonprofit Organizations, containing information on over 3,100 Ohio grantmakers and more than 300 funders from outside the state that award grants in Ohio. In addition to the Cleveland Office, the Foundation Center does have Cooperating Collections in public libraries around the state. Locally, The Public Library of Youngstown & Mahoning County and Kent State University - Trumbull Campus participate as Cooperating Collection public libraries.
