Streamlining Your Grant Application Efforts

When you are working on a grant proposal, do you find yourself…

• Creating a new program budget for each proposal?
• Crafting a new organizational statement to fit the character count?
• Modifying your programs just a little bit to meet the funder’s guidelines?
• Asking for an updated organizational budget to share with the funder where you “actually” are for the year?
• Searching for your EIN, by-laws, or letter of good standing?

If you answered “yes” to any (all?) of the above questions, this session is for you!
Most nonprofits have just one person who is responsible for all grant seeking activities and that person often has other fundraising responsibilities as well. This session will share practices that can help attendees avoid common mistakes in grant seeking that result in lost time and missed opportunities.
Attendees will leave the session with a list of process improvements they can implement immediately.
