Sometimes you need to dig deep to find the organizational courage to aggressively address your organization’s mission. As you uncover problems or needs that you feel your organization should tackle, then the next step is to develop a bold goal that will not only energize your work but will attract funders. This training is all about empowering your leadership to be confident in their ability to attack the demonstrated need, and learning how to walk hand in hand with grantmakers to achieve the bold goal(s) set by your leaders.
Cynthia M. Adams
GrantStation's Founder and Corporate Advisor, Cynthia M. Adams has spent the past 40 years helping nonprofit organizations raise the money needed to do their good work. Many of her early efforts centered on raising funds to set aside wilderness areas in Alaska. In 1990 she started her first company, the Alaska Funding Exchange. This endeavor served as the testing ground for a national company, GrantStation, which opened its Internet doors in the fall of 2001. Cindy built this business because she believes that grantseeking requires a thorough understanding of the variety and scope of grantmakers and sound knowledge of the philanthropic playing field. Her life's work has been to level that playing field, creating an opportunity for all nonprofit organizations to access the wealth of grant opportunities across the U.S. and throughout the world.
