SUMMARY:Crafting Narratives that will Set Your Grant Application Apart: Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:About the Workshop: \nFew grant application questions receive more groans from grant writers than “sustainability” questions. The tendency is to write a statement about how your organization will continue to diversify your fundraising strategy while stewarding existing donors. This response could be copied and pasted into every grant proposal written by just about every nonprofit organization across the country\, but it does not help you get the grant.\nThis session will teach you new ways to think about sustainability in programs and organizations and respond to sustainability grant proposal prompts in a way that will set you apart from other applicants.  \nAbout the Presenter: Fielding Jezreel\nFielding Jezreel specializes in helping nonprofits plan and apply for federal grants. Using her passion for program planning\, Fielding helps organizations streamline their grant funding strategy and pursue federal and other nationally competed grants. She also coaches early career grant writers.\nFielding has worked in the grants field since 2013 and has raised over $40 million for nonprofits and government agencies.

SUMMARY:Motivational Interviewing
DESCRIPTION:Did your project stop dead in its tracks? Is your grants team stuck in the mud? Is your client indecisive\, or maybe even ambivalent? As grant professionals\, we often find ourselves stuck in the middle of this  madness. Motivational Interviewing is an evidence-based treatment often used in a clinical setting to help clients explore ambivalence and boost motivation and commitment for change. Come learn how to propel your clients and your work forward by applying the Motivational Interviewing framework and skills to grants.

SUMMARY:Crafting Narratives The Will Set Your Grant Application Apart: Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:Few grant application questions receive more groans from grant writers than “sustainability” questions. The tendency is to write a statement about how your organization will continue to diversify your fundraising strategy while stewarding existing donors. This response could be copied and pasted into every grant proposal written by just about every nonprofit organization across the country\, but it does not help you get the grant.\nThis session will teach you new ways to think about sustainability and respond to sustainability prompts in a way that will set you apart from other applicants.\nAbout the Presenter: Fielding Jezreel\nFielding Jezreel specializes in helping nonprofits plan and apply for federal grants. Using her passion for program planning\, Fielding helps organizations streamline their grant funding strategy; pursue federal and other nationally competed grants; and provides one-on-one coaching to new grant writers.\nFielding has worked in the grants field since 2013 and has raised over $35 million for nonprofits.

SUMMARY:Streamlining Your Grant Application Efforts
DESCRIPTION:When you are working on a grant proposal\, do you find yourself… \n\nCreating a new program budget for each proposal?\nCrafting a new organizational statement to fit the character count?\nModifying your programs just a little bit to meet the funder’s guidelines?\nAsking for an updated organizational budget to share with the funder where you “actually” are for the year?\nSearching for your EIN\, by-laws\, or letter of good standing?\n\nIf you answered “yes” to any (all?) of the above questions\, this session is for you!\nMost 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.\nAttendees will leave the session with a list of process improvements they can implement immediately.\nAbout the Presenter: Fielding Jezreel\nFielding Jezreel specializes in helping nonprofits plan and apply for federal grants.
