Opportunity Lockney will organize to provide the following services related to Grants:
Research grant opportunities for Opportunity Lockney initiatives and, upon board approval, write grant applications to support those initiatives.
Develop a base of grant-writing knowledge and expertise so as to be of assistance to Lockney organizations and individuals. Developing this base of knowledge will be accomplished by training via South Plains Association of Governments, Wes Tex RC&D, Lubbock Area Foundation, Texas Department of Economic Development, and others. Opportunity Lockney personnel will not write grants for non-LEDC projects, but will provide assistance as needed.
Develop an information packet to serve as a starting point for those interest in grant writing. This information packet will include basic information about available training for grant writers, funding sources, and grant writers who may be available for hire.
Conduct or host grant-writing workshops for the community.
