Grant Research
About the Workshop:
This class is designed to give participants (nonprofit employees and board members) hands on experience in identifying foundation and corporate funders that are likely to give to their organization. Participants will learn how to identify appropriate funders, how to verify the funder is a good fit, and how to outreach the funder for more information. Participants will leave class with a list of potential funders. Public grant identification (federal, state, municipal) will be covered briefly, but the focus of the session will be on private grantors.
Students will have access to a pay-walled funder database for use during the class and a short period following class to practice new skills.
This is an in-person workshop in St. Louis, MO.
