Without formal grant writing training, your team applies for grants haphazardly, leading to burnout and exhaustion. Pursuing grant funding is critical for small organizations, but it is a struggle to find time with all of the other responsibilities.

This training will teach aspiring grant writers:
- How to think like a funder
- Research grants yielding the highest rate of success
- Systematize grant pursuits
- Write winning proposals

Shannon's strategy overview:
- Understanding your organization's project(s) to be funded to build a successful funding strategy
- A funding strategy is a roadmap of the top grants for your organization to pursue over the next 12-18 months
- Together we will describe your organization in one high-impact sentence, determine what you want to get funded by reasonably addressing what can be accomplished within a year or two, and focus on projects that can be measured/demonstrate success

***This session is free for members with The Nonprofit Partnership. Non-members may pay a $50 fee to attend.
