Want to give your nonprofit a competitive edge when submitting grant proposals?
Grantmakers are always interested in understanding the additional support your organization has secured for your projects. If your nonprofit struggles to have a cash match on hand, an in-kind contributions program can make a significant impact on your ability to secure grants.
While it may seem like a daunting task, there are concrete steps you can take to systematically build an in-kind contributions program.
During this TargetED session, Alice Ruhnke will discuss the steps you need to take to increase your organization’s capacity to use in-kind contributions in your grant applications.
You’ll learn:
- how to identify the different types of in-kind contributions;
- how to create systematic processes and procedures to document your donations; and,
- ways to leverage in-kind donations to secure more grant awards.
Using in-kind contributions requires having systems in place that can be scrutinized. You will leave this session with examples of policies and procedures to modify and apply to your organization.
This session is perfect for executive directors, financial and development staff, and grant professionals who want to build the capacity of their organization.
