Clinics at the Capitol

State's inaugural “Clinics at the Capitol” series continues in August at the Minnesota State Capitol Building

The next Clinics at the Capitol will focus on building bridges for grantees and state agencies

St. Paul, MN: The State of Minnesota is hosting a free event August 20 at the Capitol for the public to connect with state leaders about state grant opportunities and resources. The 9 am to noon event is part of the state’s “Clinics at the Capitol” series. It will include resource tables, speakers, and workshops on grant writing tips, how to find government grant opportunities, and what to expect when you receive a state grant.

According to Tamar Gronvall, Commissioner of the MN Department of Administration, one of the sponsoring agencies, “Minnesota invests many millions of state dollars every year in grants to individuals, businesses, nonprofits, and local governments to improve the lives of Minnesotans and help our communities thrive. Maybe you sit on the board of a local organization, own a business or know of a need in your community, this is an opportunity to connect face-to-face with representatives of state agencies to hear about grants and to share your perspective so we can make the state’s grant investments even more impactful.”

The event will include a panel to discuss equity in state grant-making and interactive “community conversations” hosted by the Minnesota Office of Equity, Opportunity, and Accessibility (OEOA), which is the sponsor for the Clinics at the Capitol series of events this summer. According to OEOA event organizer Ashley Oolman, “Clinics at the Capitol will run through the summer and offer hands-on help for Minnesotans seeking opportunities with experts from the state at the people’s house.”

The event is free and all are invited to participate. Space is limited, and registration is strongly encouraged. It opens at 9 am., Wednesday, August 20th, at the Minnesota State Capitol Building, 75 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. 55155.
