Smart Grant Prospecting Strategies

Description

Stop chasing grants. Start pursuing the right ones. Finding the right funders is one of the most important and most overlooked parts of grant success. Many nonprofits spend time applying for funding that is not aligned with their mission, programs, or geographic focus. This leads to frustration, wasted effort, and missed opportunities. This session focuses on how to identify, evaluate, and prioritize funding opportunities so you can build a strategic and effective grant pipeline. In this session, you will learn how to: • Identify funders that align with your mission, programs, and population served • Evaluate grant opportunities to determine whether they are a strong fit • Use Form 990 to understand how foundations actually give • Recognize patterns in funding decisions and grant sizes • Build a focused and strategic grant prospect list You will also receive practical tools and worksheets to help you research funders, analyze opportunities, and build a grant prospecting system you can use on an ongoing basis. This session is ideal for organizations that want to be more strategic in how they pursue grant funding and avoid spending time on opportunities that are not a strong fit. If you are currently searching for grants or planning to build a funding pipeline, this session will help you do it more effectively and efficiently. This session is part of the Grant Success Blueprint training series. You can register for this session individually or attend all four sessions to build a complete grant strategy.
