Want to learn how to bring MORE funding into Jackson County?
Join us at the library for a LIVE WATCH PARTY + COMMUNITY DISCUSSION of the Grant Ready Kentucky Training Series!

There’s been a lot of conversation lately about grants in Jackson County — and now we have a chance to learn together and turn knowledge into action. After each training, we’ll have a guided discussion about how we can apply what we learned to strengthen our community, support local programs, and bring new opportunities to Jackson County.

 And here’s why this matters…
Over the last 6 years, the library alone has secured $388,038.44 in grant funding for our community!
And that does not include the grants we have assisted other organizations in securing. Imagine what we can do together with even more people trained and ready!

Whether you represent a business, government office, school, nonprofit, church, or community organization — or you simply want to learn — this series will benefit you!

 Location: Library Community Room
 Cost: FREE
 No registration required — just show up!
