Do you have a good idea you'd like to turn into a grant proposal, but not sure how to start? Come and join veteran grants pro and grantmaker Maryn Boess as she shows you how to turn your good idea into a fundable project concept … by answering 10 simple, all-important questions.
You can think of that 1/10th of 1% as your “sweet spot” funders … and there’s more good news: You don’t have to knock on 120,000 doors to find them. That’s what thoughtful funder research is for: To help us cut through all the “no thank you’s” and zero in quickly and efficiently on that much smaller group in your organization’s “sweet spot” who are most likely to give your proposal an enthusiastic thumbs-up.
An A+ proposal budget provides an honest, complete, and clear picture of the total value of everything it takes to do our work successfully. It also stands as an invaluable management and evaluation tool when it comes to running the grant-funded program. So … how do we get there from here? That’s the question we’ll explore in this down-to-earth, myth-busting session.
Clear, compelling writing is vital to all your on-the-job writing projects -- not just grant proposals. In this fast-paced hands-on workshop, you'll learn and practice simple, powerful techniques that will have you writing more clearly, quickly and confidently -- right away. Our focus: Presenting your message in a way that makes it as easy as possible for your reader to understand -- so you get the results you want.
We’ll pull back the curtain on the realities of life as a grantmaker – and what your proposal is really up against “on the other side.” You'll learn what grantmakers love, what makes them grumpy—and how you can be sure you're delivering what they really, really want, every time!
