Crafting compelling grant proposals is a critical challenge you face in the nonprofit sector, especially when your mission is to support individuals with disabilities. The complexity of grant requirements, fierce competition, and the need to compellingly articulate the unique needs of those you serve can make grantwriting feel daunting.
During this tailored session, Alice Ruhnke will provide you with the knowledge and tools to create impactful proposals to fund your services for individuals with disabilities.
You'll learn how to:
- identify funding opportunities from federal, state, and foundation sources that align with your organization's mission using GrantStation;
- craft compelling needs statements with data from the American Community Survey and other reputable sources;
- incorporate evidence-based practices into your program to show the effectiveness of your work; and,
- incorporate new technology and tools which can streamline your processes, enhance your efficiency, and improve your proposal's overall quality.
This session is perfect for grantwriters, fundraisers, program staff, or leaders of organizations working to support individuals with disabilities who want to improve their grants success.
