📣 IN CASE YOU MISSED IT…

We kicked off our 2026–27 workshop series last Thursday with a packed Grantwriting Workshop! More than 40 local nonprofit professionals joined us to strengthen their skills and explore tools and resources for successful grantwriting.

The feedback made our day! 💜

💬 “Fantastic balance of depth & breadth.”
💬 “Very thorough and detailed.”
💬 “Excellent presentation — answered several questions.”
💬 “Great class!”

Participants especially valued the step-by-step grantwriting process, funding research tools, proposals, outcomes vs. outputs, and budgeting.

We’re excited to keep the learning going! 💜💛

📊INAR'S VERY SCIENTIFIC QUESTION OF THE DAY

At INAR, research is kind of our thing. Sometimes the questions help organizations make important decisions. And sometimes...we need to know how our coworkers feel about cooking and driving. 😂

When your organization needs answers to questions that ACTUALLY MATTER, INAR can help with survey design and analysis, focus groups, program evaluation, and other research services.

This week's question: Would you rather have a private chef 👨‍🍳or private driver 🚗?

The results are in: Chef wins, 4-2!

Where do you stand? Let us know in the comments. 👇
