Establishing that your organization is trustworthy to receive funding from a grantmaker is vitally important. There are a number of ways you can go about this—including establishing an ongoing relationship with the grantmaker—but that isn’t always possible, at least not right away! This training focuses on building credibility into the grant proposal using those documents and sections of the proposal you can build ahead of time. This includes how and where to use your mission statement most effectively, how to relate the history and present circumstances of your organization, how to demonstrate board and staff competency, and how to demonstrate accountability and transparency in all you do. This training is filled with examples and “how to” lessons that will help you prepare engaging documents before you begin writing proposals.

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.
