Grant Research

Grant Research
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.

Participants will have access to a pay-walled funder database for use during the class and a short period following class to practice new skills. Please bring a laptop or device to use during this time.

Participants do not need to have any grant writing experience.

This is an in-person workshop in St. Louis, MO.
