If your organization has a national or regional orientation, you’re likely aware that the private grants landscape can be extremely competitive. The most popular foundations serving these nonprofits accept only a small percentage of new applicants. In the current funding environment, not serving clients directly or doing so on a large scale can seem like a disadvantage.
In this session, Susan Schaefer of Resource Partners will help you navigate the unique obstacles and opportunities you face as a national or multi-state nonprofit when securing major foundation and corporate grants. You'll go beyond grantwriting to explore case studies that candidly reveal the challenges and successes from Susan's 20+ years of experience working with nonprofits across a broad geographic scope. You'll hear actionable steps that you can implement right away.
You’ll walk away with a work plan that features:
- the initiatives that most appeal to national and regional funders;
- how to position your nonprofit to stand out; and,
- how best to leverage your network.
This webinar is perfect for grantseekers looking to turn the pressure of competition into a driving force for excellence.
