🎙️ On the latest "Your Community" Podcast: Grant writing can feel like a daunting task, but it remains one of the most powerful tools for local leaders, non-profits, and grassroots groups to secure funding and turn impactful ideas into reality.

Kris Parker—Purdue Extension Community Development Specialist—breaks down the core essentials of securing grants, demystifying a process that often intimidates beginners. She highlights the critical importance of building strong relationships with funders, carefully reading instructions, and keeping a clear focus on your organization's core mission rather than chasing every available dollar.

The "Hoosier Ag Today Presents YOUR Purdue Extension—a Podcast Network" is sponsored by Indiana Farm Bureau—A Unified Voice for Agriculture.

Purdue alum Jason Williamson will fly aboard Purdue 1, Purdue’s all-Boilermaker suborbital research spaceflight — and he wants to hear from Hoosier fifth graders.

Through the Purdue 1 Indiana Essay Competition, fifth graders are invited to write about how they could use a favorite school subject, hobby or skill to help a space mission crew succeed. One winner from each of Indiana's 92 counties will receive a personalized Purdue 1 mission patch, and if mission conditions permit, winners' names will fly with the crew.

Teachers and parents: Share this video with a fifth grader you know! Essays are due Nov. 30: https://bit.ly/purdue-1-essay
