Presentations will be made by the Mary Biddle Duke Foundation, Triangle Community Foundation, Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation, and the Wells Fargo Charitable Foundation.

*         On Wednesday, October 23, participants will receive an intensive, hands-on grant writing "boot camp" led by Ruth Peebles of the INS Group.
