Linda Kohler, Executive Director of Chesapeake Charities and a Standards for Excellence Licensed Consultant, and Mary Ann Gleason, Chesapeake Charities’ grants and evaluation specialist, are hosting a series of training workshops to be held in 2015, writesMyEasternShoreMD.com. The first workshop, “Identifying Grant Opportunities and Aligning Your Program for Grant Success,” took place on Tuesday, Feb. 24, at Chesapeake Charities’ Stevensville location. Participants were invited to bring grant applications that they are working on, and time was set aside for one-on-one consultation following the program. Future workshops will cover social media marketing (April 28) and managing databases (May 20). Seating is limited, and you must RSVP to reserve a spot. Chesapeake Charities is a community foundation that supports a wide range of charitable causes including education, health and human services, animal welfare, and the environment in the Mid-Shore area and beyond. All of its 73 funds have a common cause — a passion for making a difference in their communities. Together they have invested more than $6.5 million in the Chesapeake Bay region since 2005.
