The Public Interest Incorporated Foundation Grant Foundations Center holds seminars aimed at individuals involved in grant projects, with the objective of promoting practical grant-making.

This seminar will provide easy-to-understand explanations of grant projects, from basic knowledge to practical points, and how to launch and operate them, delivered by our center's program officers who have extensive practical experience.

Following each lecture, there will be time for participants to exchange opinions, and the instructors will answer your daily questions and challenges based on their experience, guiding you to potential solutions.
