  • 4. LOOKING FOR FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES?

    Of course we all are, and thanks to the Burton D Morgan Foundation's leadership with a workshop at the FORUM, we now can share a List of Foundations that support ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION nationwide. The Foundation Center (Cleveland, OH) prepared this listing of state-by-state sources and has provided it on our FORUM page for everyone to access. Check out this as well as other FORUM concurrent session presentations at http://www.entre-ed.org/_network/concurrent_2.html

    **** B. 7 . . . HOW TO RAISE FUNDS FOR YOUR PROGRAM
    The Foundation Center has created a special "Mini-Directory of Entrepreneurship Foundations" and provided it for our conference participants in this workshop. The original version is on the FORUM page here ... http://www.entre-ed.org/_network/funders.pdf

    This Mini-Directory is intended to provide information to grant-seekers in the fields of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship education. It was created using the Foundation Center's Foundation Directory Online, the nation's leading online resource for funding research. Note that because the material is dated, current info should be accessed through The Foundation Center in their "Cooperating Collections" section http://foundationcenter.org/collections/
