A Primer on Proposal Writing: Designing a Great Project and Proposal
Monday, February 22, 2016
6:30 – 8:30pm
Snow date February 29th
Leominster Public Library | 30 West Street | Leominster, MA
Presented by Sarah Sutton, Sustainable Museums
Space is limited for this free workshop. Register online by going to the Calendar of Events at www.leominsterlibrary.org,
or by calling the library at 978-534-7522 ext 3.
Let’s talk about what funders want, and break down the application process into simple steps. We will then use simple budgets and simpler logic models to practice designing a strong proposal for a strong project. There will be time for questions and shared thinking.
Consultant Sarah Sutton has nearly 30 years of proposal-writing experience in educational, cultural, and natural resource nonprofits around the country. She writes grant proposals to private and public agencies ranging from family foundations and local arts councils to the National Science Foundation. She loves the strategy and the wordsmithing that goes into this work, but most of all she loves the people and the projects at the organizations she encounters.
A Primer on Proposal Writing is organized by Freedom’s Way Heritage Association in partnership with the National Park Service and the Leominster Public Library.
The Leominster Public Library is a member of the Foundation Center’s
Funding Information Network.

Hometown Bank Named SBA Lender of the Quarter
The Small Business Administration (SBA) District Director, Robert H. Nelson, presented Hometown Bank with the SBA Lender of the Quarter Award for the first quarter of 2016’s fiscal year after the Bank generated ten SBA loan approvals between October 1, 2015 and December 31, 2015. The Bank currently ranks twelfth out of Massachusetts’ eighty-nine most active lenders since doubling its loan approval for the entire 2015 fiscal year total in just one quarter. This distinction recognizes the merit of the Bank’s lending performance during this time.
“We are honored to receive the designation of Lender of the Quarter. It is a direct reflection of the effort that the Hometown Bank team puts forth to support local businesses,” said Michael Hewitt, Hometown Bank’s President and CEO. “We value our vibrant small business community and recognize the importance of providing these businesses with the capital needed to grow and create jobs. Through participating in SBA’s lending programs we have new opportunities to promote success stories.”
Hometown Community Bancorp, Inc., is the holding company for Hometown Bank, a Massachusetts mutual cooperative bank headquartered in Oxford, MA. Hometown has about $412 million in assets and operates eight full-service banking offices throughout central MA.
