About the Event
Join the Hub and representatives from Pennsylvania’s Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) for an engaging information session that will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to develop and refine a competitive application to DCNR’s C2P2 program. You will also gain practical insights and advice from recent local government awardees.
If you are planning to submit an application to DCNR this spring, this session will help clarify questions and supercharge your proposal. For others, join us to get a head start on future applications and learn strategies that will benefit any grant application.
