Inroads into the Federal Budget: Earmarks and Grants
Last year the Advocacy Institute held focus groups and a training on federal budget advocacy and since then, we have incorporated participants’ feedback and are excited to offer an updated training that goes deeper into accessing federal funding through grants and earmarks. The goals of this training are:
- Get grounded in the vocabulary and overall structure of the appropriations process
- Learn how to apply for earmarks and grants while understanding the benefits of each
- Understand the relationship between applying for discretionary funding and influencing program implementation in the future.
