Major gifts are a staple of fund development plans.
A nonprofit’s largest private grants? They rarely get the same attention.
Yet many corporations and foundations are consolidating their giving into fewer, larger awards.
This webinar will offer specialized strategies to secure significant private grants in this increasingly competitive environment.
Susan Schaefer of Resource Partners will help you understand the key differences between competing for your nonprofit’s annual grants and awards that stand to make up your largest private grants to date.
You will learn:
- the benefits of looking at your portfolio through a major-grants lens;
- strategies that help you stand out in the eyes of funders; and,
- key steps to launch or grow your major-grants program.
Even if you think that your organization is not ready to secure major grants, you will come away with key activities to advance your future chances.
Best of all? Adopting a “major-grants mindset” can help your nonprofit design a virtuous cycle that leads to increasingly significant foundation and corporate awards.
This session is perfect for grant professionals who have found some success securing grants and are ready to take their organization’s grantseeking to the next level.
