I Am Trenton is introducing grant preparation classes to enhance the ability of grassroots organizations and activists to submit a successful grant application in the Fall 2025 grant round. There are two Zoom classes being offered in May 2025 - the zoom link will be sent to you once you register.  Attendance at these sessions is especially recommended for former applicants that missed the cut off for funding in the past.  New potential applicants are also welcome to attend.
