Beyond Letters of Intent: Approaching Funders @ Webinar
Tickets
Oct 18 @ 10:00 am – 11:15 am

You’ve done all your homework and identified several funders that checked all the boxes. Their funding priorities match your project. They fund organizations similar to yours. They award grants in your region. They even grant money in the amount your organization needs. Ok then. What’s next?

If you’ve met one grantmaker, you’ve met one grantmaker. They all have their different methods on how they want to be approached. Some funders want you to submit a full proposal without any introductions. Others require a 500-word online letter of intent. Still, others want you to speak to one of their program officers. Let’s explore the ways to make meaningful connections so that they invite you to submit your full proposal.

This session will not focus on researching funders. Instead, we’ll discuss what happens after you find what you think is the perfect grantmaker for your project. The topics we’ll explore include:

  • Preparing and submitting letters of intent/inquiry or a concept paper
  • Approaching grantmakers by telephone
  • Meeting with a grantmaker virtually
  • Reaching out to a grantmaker that doesn’t accept unsolicited proposals

This workshop provides learning opportunities for novice to advanced grant seekers. The ideal participants will have a few years of experience preparing grant proposals with a basic understanding of the content required to craft grant proposal narratives.

Grants from Foundations & Corporations: Workshop #3 of the AFP Connecticut Chapter’s Principles of Fundraising Series @ Webinar
Tickets
Oct 19 @ 9:00 am – 11:00 am

The Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) Connecticut Chapter is proud to announce:

Fall 2022 Principles of Fundraising Certificate Program

Nonprofit organizations often seek grant support for their new or existing programs, capital campaigns, capacity-building efforts, equipment purchases, research, or special projects but fall short in receiving an award. Competition for grants from foundations and corporations continues to grow as government funding dwindles. Learn how to identify grant opportunities for your organization as well as prepare proposals that get the attention of grantmakers. This workshop provides not only tools and resources but also a proposal outline to prepare comprehensive, concise, and competitive grant applications.

The entire Principles of Fundraising series of five workshops are specifically designed for novice to intermediate fund development personnel, executive directors, board members, volunteers, and those considering starting a nonprofit organization.  Grants from Foundations and Corporations is the fourth session of a five-part series.

The Principles of Fundraising was developed by the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) Connecticut Chapter in 2008. Now in its 14th year, this program continues to provide high-caliber, basic-skills development in the art and science of fundraising for nonprofits through five introductory-level, half-day workshops focusing on theory and practice taught by members of AFP who are experts in their respective fields. All of the workshops are designed to help new and established nonprofit organizations raise money more effectively and efficiently.

Join us for only $30 per session for AFP members and $40 per session for non-AFP members OR $140 for all five sessions (same for members and non-members)

Register for one or all five of the workshops in the AFP Connecticut Chapter’s Principles of Fundraising program today!

Advanced Grant Proposal Writing @ Webinar
Tickets
Dec 14 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm

Nonprofit organizations often seek grant support but fall short in receiving an award. Competition for grants continues to grow as government funding dwindles. Learn how to present your case for support no matter the type or size of grant you are requesting. This session will sharpen your grant-seeking skills by making your proposal more competitive.

From an introduction to logic models to making your case for support using 2,000 or less characters, this workshop will help you prepare successful paper and paperless proposal narratives including those to the different levels of government. There will be a discussion on the use of meaningful charts and other visual aids to help reviewers quickly understand the intent of your proposed project. You will also learn techniques to use when preparing proposals to obtain grants for capacity-building projects and capital campaigns.

The intended learning goals are as follows:

  • Understand the current giving trends of foundations, corporations, and government agencies
  • Analyze requests for proposals (RFPs) to determine a fit with your proposed project
  • Prepare reviewer friendly proposals
  • Formulate strategies to develop proposals for special projects, capacity-building efforts, and capital campaigns
  • Learn techniques to apply for a multi-year or million-dollar grant

This workshop provides learning opportunities for intermediate to advanced (5+ years) grant seekers. The ideal participants will be those with two or more years of experience preparing grant proposals who have an understanding how to develop a strong needs statement, goals and outcomes, evaluation strategies, and the budget and justification for the project/program they propose.
