Grant Research and Training

The Grant Resource Center

The Grant Resource Center offers:

  • Access to 2 premier databases designed to help research specific funders interested in supporting organizations like yours.
  • Books and other resources to help grant seekers.
  • Trained staff available to help you navigate services.
  • FREE, easy access to the public.

Nonprofit Grant Training

As part of our collaboration with Associated Grant Makers and Northern Essex Community College we offer our nonprofits a series of free, extremely popular training sessions in grant research and grant writing.

Volunteer Grant Training

We also cultivate our Jericho Road volunteers in grant research and writing by sending them to our training sessions in grant research and grant writing. Graduates of the program are often paired with a seasoned grant professional. Together, they work as a volunteer team to help nonprofits that do not have the time or skills to research or write grants.

“Having access to the databases (through the Grant Resource Center) at NECC makes it possible to have confidence in completing projects that appear to be risky. Without this my organization would not have access to this resource.”
