We’re excited to invite you to a special in-person grant writing training designed to help you build confidence, strengthen your approach, and improve your ability to pursue funding opportunities effectively. This full-day event will take place on Tuesday, April 21, 2026, at the Hampton Inn in Great Falls, and brings together two of the top grant writing professionals in Montana: Tracy McIntyre of MCOC/MCDC and Becky Rosenleaf of KLJ, one of our valued associated MCOC members. Whether you are new to grant writing, looking to sharpen your skills, or hoping to strengthen your organization’s funding strategy, this training is designed to offer practical guidance you can put to use right away. Participants can expect a grounded, real-world learning experience from presenters who understand Montana organizations, community needs, and the realities of pursuing competitive funding. In addition to the full-day training on April 21, attendees will also have the option to add a bonus Drafting Lab + Shared Workspace Day on Wednesday, April 22. This optional second day is a great opportunity to keep the momentum going, spend dedicated time working on your own grant materials, and learn alongside others in a supportive environment.
MCOC Members get special rates! If you’re an employee, board member, or member of an MCOC Member Co-op, you’re eligible!
