What does BICAS need?

As part of the grant writing group, I have initiated my research by reviewing the grant writing resources on the Pima County Public Library’s website . Within the library’s website you can go to ‘Research & Resources,’ and find the ‘Grant & Nonprofit Info Center’ which has a great deal of information. We as a group decided we should all listen to the ‘Grantseeking Basics’ as well as the webinar, ‘Grantseeking Basics for Individuals in the Arts.’ 

Alongside gaining basic grant knowledge, we have reached out to John Salgado and Casey at BICAS to set a meeting time with the two of them to discuss their needs and establish a more concrete plan for our group. On October 1, 2010, myself, Whitney and Megan briefly introduced ourselves and discussed our group and how we could support BICAS. This meeting was very brief as both John and Casey had only a few moments after our Skill Share and their appointment with a potential site for their art auction. We haven’t heard back from BICAS, but we did send the outline we have created that clearly defines our group goals as well as our individual responsibilities so they will have an idea our groups plan and know if that will fit in with what they are needing. We also proposed some times that we could possibly meet with them. 

Our main focus going forward is to meet with BICAS to decipher what exactly it is BICAS really needs!
