<p class="MsoNormal"><b>II: Fundraising for Collections Care and Artifact Handling and Housing<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Through thoughtful planning and effective grant writing, your organization can be competitive in seeking public and private funding to preserve cultural collections. This workshop will examine the planning process funders want to see,
elements of a successful grant proposal, and regional funding opportunities. <o:p>
