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 reviewer friendly and competitive.
From analyzing requests for proposals 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 visual aids to help reviewers understand the intent of your proposed project and answering the sustainability question. 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 request for proposals (RFPs) to determine a fit with your proposed project
- Prepare reviewer friendly proposals
- Formulate strategies for seeking grants in the time of COVID-19
- Prepare proposals for multi-year, million-dollar projects
The target audience is those with three to five years of experience preparing grant proposals to foundations and/or corporations.
