Councillor Paul Ferretti, Convener of the Council's Place, Neighbourhood & Corporate Assets Committee said,
This Funder Fair is a fantastic opportunity for groups who want to find out more about how to successfully apply for funding.
"It will bring a range of key funders together and provide the opportunity for people to speak directly to funders, ask questions specific to their project and attend a range of workshops offering invaluable tips and advice on funding.
"Round 2 of the 2023/24 East Dunbartonshire Community Grants Scheme will also launch at the Fair with an opportunity to find out more about the application and assessment process. So I'd encourage anyone interested in coming along to find out more on our Eventbrite page and book into workshops as places are limited."
