You know your nonprofit is doing good work and that you can secure more foundation or corporate grants to fund that work.
Now if only you could get the cooperation of your leadership or other colleagues to help you fulfill your potential.
One of the greatest unspoken challenges of fund development is that your success relies so heavily on others. You need to collaborate with colleagues who often have little idea of their critical role in securing grants.
In order to make your organizational culture more grant friendly, you may need to try some new tactics. Fortunately, whether you are a junior-level writer or a chief development officer, the steps are similar.
During this webinar, Susan Schaefer of Resource Partners will suggest specific steps you can take to improve your organization’s grants culture so you can pursue and win larger awards. You’ll see how staff at all levels can change the way their coworkers engage in major grants.
Throughout this session you will engage in these topics:
- how you can elevate grants within your organization;
- which internal forums are ripe for grant-related content; and,
- what you can do to keep the focus on grants front and center.
Whether you feel slightly isolated in your work or fully siloed, you will take away ideas and inspiration to solidify your place in your nonprofit’s financial health.
From grant proposal writer to chief development officer, this session is ideal for those who want to make their office culture more grant friendly.
