SDWF LOI Review Training (Members Only)
2023-12-05 12:00 - 13:00 | Zoom Meeting
LOI review is the first stage in SDWF’s annual grants selection process. This year, we anticipate a large number of applicants, and we need volunteers like you to help determine which organizations will move forward. SDWF Trainers will provide all the necessary information to help evaluators effectively read and score applications — no prior experience is necessary!
After the training members will evaluate their assigned LOIs individually, making this an excellent opportunity for members with less flexible schedules to participate.
A recorded training will be available for members who want to participate but cannot attend the live virtual training on Zoom. Please register and select the “Recorded Training” option if you would like to participate in that way.
