Webinar: How to Navigate the California State Grants Portal
NextGen Policy, in partnership with California State Library and CalNonprofits, hosted a one-hour webinar that provided step-by-step guidance related to using the California State Grants Portal. The portal is a statewide web-based clearinghouse that provides information about and access to the numerous grants and loans currently offered by state agencies. During the webinar, attendees also had an opportunity to ask questions about how to navigate the site, find specific resources, and apply for available funding opportunities.
