Presented by Candid, learn the basics of writing and submitting a project proposal and finding grants. Discover what funders are looking for in nonprofits seeking grants and how to find potential funders.
From 10:30-12:30, we will cover:
- The basic elements of a proposal
- The “do’s” and “don’ts” of writing and submitting a proposal
- How to follow up whether the answer is yes or no
- Who funds nonprofits and what are their motivations
- What funders really want to know about the organizations they are interested in funding
- How to identify potential funders and make the first approach
This session will also include an overview of free Candid resources that are available online for ongoing support.
From 12:30 - 2:00, Candid staff will be available for one-on-one appointments to assist with using Foundation Directory Online for grant research, reviewing project pitches, and demo-ing additional Candid resources.
