Host Responsibilities
Host Responsibilities Hosts provide a handicapped-accessible facility that can comfortably accommodate 30 people. The recommended minimum training room size is 30'x40'. Breakout space is needed for participants working on individual projects. 
Hosts also provide support during the program, including refreshments, supplies and use of equipment (easels with flip chart pads, a blackboard or whiteboard, photocopying capability, access to the Internet and several computers with printing capability).
Hosts publicize their training programs in and around their communities. The most successful outreach involves personal contact with key organizations whose constituencies should be encouraged to attend. These key agencies include the United Way; city, county and state agencies; local associations of nonprofits; community foundations; and service organizations, such as the Junior League. Hosts also send a mailing about the program to local agencies and place announcements on listservs and community bulletin boards. The Grantsmanship Centersm reimburses for expenses incurred in this effort—as well as for refreshments, photocopying, and associated expenses—up to a maximum of $1,000 per workshop ($500 for Essential Grant Skills).
