The Administration for Native Americans, through its Pacific Region Training and Technical Assistance provider in Hawaii, Ka\u2019\u0101nani\u2019au LLC, is once again offering a free three-day workshop titled \u201cProject Planning & Development,\u201d to help participants develop a project idea in preparation for writing an ANA grant for the next cycle. <\/p>\n

This is the first of two sections. The second section, \u201cPre-Application Training,\u201d will take place early next spring. <\/p>\n

The grant applications are generally due in early April.<\/p>\n

The three-day training runs from Oct. 15 through 17, from Monday through Wednesday, from 9am to 4pm daily. The location will be announced soon.<\/p>\n

The class will be led by Keone Nunes, ANA Pacific Region director. This year, 500 Sails co-founder and MANGO pro tem treasurer Emma Perez will be joining Nunes to teach the class. <\/p>\n

Nunes is a graduate of the University of Hawaii at M\u0101noa with a bachelor\u2019s degree in Anthropology and certification in Hawaiian Language. He has been training and facilitating on a national level since 1990 and has been working with the ANA Pacific Region since 2006. He is also a cultural practitioner in the field of k\u0101kau (Hawaiian tattooing) as well as other aspects of Hawaiian culture.<\/p>\n

Perez has 30-plus years of nonprofit finance experience and has acted as the financial member of successful grant writing teams for a multitude of funders. She was part of the ANA grant writing teams here in the CNMI for both 500 Sails and the Carolinian Affairs Office that were awarded a total of $1,026,191 since 2016.<\/p>\n

Whether you’re a community advocate starting a new organization or a seasoned grants veteran looking to form an ANA-eligible project from the ground up, you’ll definitely want to attend. All the fundamentals of forming a great community-based project will be covered in this free three-day training. It\u2019s the perfect way to build the skills of your organization\u2019s project teams. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s best to bring a team from your organization for all three days,\u201d said Perez. \u201cYou want the dreamer, the wordsmith, and the numbers person, or some combination of those skills. It takes a team to write a successful grant. This training is the perfect opportunity to help develop the next generation of grant writers for the CNMI.\u201d <\/p>\n
