How to Win Grants from Private Foundations

 

  • THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2013
  • 2:00 pm EST
  • DURATION: 60 minutes

AFTER FEBRUARY 14: $96 EARLY BIRD: $75

As governments cut back and donors get more selective, more and more nonprofits are turning to private foundations for support.

But attracting private foundation money is very different than seeking corporate aid or federal and state grants.

To learn how you can stand out from the competition and understand what foundations are seeking, join The Chronicle of Philanthropy for a Webinar that features insights from a veteran program officer who has reviewed thousands of proposals over the last decade. Tobi Printz-Platnick of the Morris and Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation will offer practical advice for increasing your odds of success, shed light on how foundations make their decisions, and show you how to talk about your organization’s weaknesses as well as its strengths.

You’ll also hear from a fundraising consultant and author, John Hicks, who will explain how to build strong ties to program officers, demonstrate that your work aligns with a foundation’s mission, and set your organization apart from the competition.

What Will You Learn?
  • Tips for ensuring you give foundations the information they want.
  • Do’s and Don’ts for your next grant proposal
  • Strategies for improving your odds of winning support
Who Should Attend?
  • Grant-proposal writers
  • Chief development officers, development directors, and fundraisers
  • Executive directors and board members

A great framework to think about humanity and its potential.

Purpose Defined: Developing a Market Mission

Why does a market need to define its purpose? For starters, defining purpose helps to attract partners, vendors, and assist board with management. Many markets are closer than they think to having a mission statement and this webinar will give those organizations a head start on creating a mission statement, and a clear purpose for doing so.

Local First Webinar Series | BALLE – Business Alliance for Local Living Economies

BALLE is one of my go-to organizations, partly because their deep reservoirs of knowledge come from localized economy leaders, rather than some academic institution or a centralized big-city NGO. Therefore, their knowledge and growth seems to be thoughtful and they advance real ideas. Their webinars are done well and the next two focus on local procurement in government contracts.

Online Fundraising Assessment Webinar

Tell The Truth Today, Raise More Tomorrow:

Assessing Your Online Fundraising Capacity

Thu, October 18th, 2012 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM EDT

Presented by: Debra Askanase, Community Organizer 2.0

In this webinar, we will walk you through a comprehensive evaluation of the state of your organization’s online fundraising strategy. Assessments are not a judgment, but rather a statement of where you are along a continuum of practice, and can offer practical insights into your online fundraising execution and effectiveness.

Prior to the webinar, we will send an anonymous, brief survey to all webinar attendees asking you to evaluate the state of optimization of your current online fundraising capabilities. We will share the aggregated survey answers during the webinar, and what that means for the state of online fundraising in the nonprofit industry.
