Legal Assist and Grants
Geno
Post Date: April 13
A new website has been launched that offers primers on the law for
artists and arts organizations on all aspects of the policy
environment for the arts. Topics range from the traditional and
familiar (copyright) to the new and sometimes obscure (two-way
broadband network access), and from the personal (how to find healthy
materials) to the professional (how to develop contracts) to the
political (free speech and the arts). Development of the site was
funded by the Rockefeller Foundation. For more information please

ABAG COMMON GRANT WORKSHOPS (NEW!)
April 18, 8:30 to 10:30am
ABAG Conference Room, 2 East Read Street, 2nd floor
Over 40 Maryland foundations accept ABAG's Common Grant Application
format. This workshop will include a brief overview of anticipated
funding challenges and opportunities in 2007, a step-by-step review of
the format, tips and suggestions for writing competitive proposals,
and a copy of ABAG's latest Member Directory. The format was developed
by a working group of ABAG members representing various funders-large
and small, corporate, family, and private foundations. Revisions made
in 2003 reflect feedback from members, other common grant applications
and input from the nonprofit community. The format also includes
questions specifically for capital campaign requests. This workshop is
for nonprofit representatives. Cost: $50 per participant (includes
ABAG's Member Directory, a $25 value) Advance payment is appreciated,
check and cash accepted. Registration will begin at 8:30 and the
workshop will begin at 9:00 a.m. http://www.abagmd.org/calendar2445/calendar_show.htm?doc_id=449384
