The Fayette County Public Library has partnered with the Georgia Humanities Council to present a free two-hour introduction to writing a grant proposal. The grant writing seminar will be held in the community meeting room at the Fayette County Public Library in downtown Fayetteville, on Tuesday, April 22 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. There is no cost to attend, but seating is limited, so those planning to attend should sign up in advance at the library, either in person or by calling 770-461-8841.

Arden Williams, program officer for the Georgia Humanities Council (GHC), will teach the basics of grant writing in general, as well as the specifics on how to prepare a competitive grant application to the GHC. The GHC supports educational activities that help Georgians learn about our heritage and stories, providing funding to a range of humanities programs including oral history projects, book discussions, teacher workshops, speaker series and historical exhibits.
