Does it feel like researching to identify new grant funders for your organization is like looking for a needle in a haystack or a diamond in the rough? Are you worried that you are overlooking “the perfect” grant opportunity for your organization? Or missing new opportunities as they begin to accept applications?
If you answered yes, then you are ready to learn more about grants.
Researching potential grant funders is a critical step in the grant development process and having an effective grant writing process. Having a solid understanding of a potential grant funder’s funding history, current priorities, and application and funding process is critical to winning a grant.
Grant funder research involves so much more than contact information and deadlines. It includes understanding funding trends, priority interests, types of support provided, and geographic focus. It includes understanding the type of grantmaker if they allow or encourage contact prior to applying, and who is on their board or decision-making committee. Great grant research sets up your grantmaker relationship outreach to be successful.
Participating in “Finding a Needle in a Haystack: How to Successfully Research Grants” will help you identify strong funding matches, create a plan for the year ahead, and ultimately set you up for grant funding success.
In this live, interactive nonprofit webinar we will discuss how to best use the most common paid databases utilized by US-based nonprofits for foundation research and integrate that research with free research tools in order to draft an initial grant strategy. We will use proven tools and strategies to successfully compile the multitude of information and documents collected during the research process in order to create a prioritized proactive grant-seeking strategy.
At CharityHowTo, we are all about 'grant writing made easy' and this is a critical step in being fully ready to learn about grants.

What Attendees Said About This Nonprofit Live Webinar:
"Diane is a great resource. I enjoyed her webinar and learned a lot. It was a pleasure to learn best practices from a professional in the field.”
Madison Blackmon, Mission
"I have been grant writing for over 15 years, but I learned a lot during this presentation that I have not been doing during the research phase. I tend to spend more time on local sources. The presentation widened my thought process on how to expand my efforts.”
Carol Calfee
“Diane is upbeat and positive, making you feel that you Can Do It! This was a lot of really useful info today and I'm so glad that it's available in my library account so that I can absorb the info before taking action. Thank you, Diane!”
Mary Gyori
“The presenter, Diane, was amazing. She was engaging, great at keeping my attention, and very knowledgeable in the subject. I'm usually skeptical of learning anything new on webinars, but she gave me a lot of food for thought and ideas of how to do my job better.”
Tamar Novick, JEWISH ASSOCIATION SERVING THE AGING
“I really enjoyed how interactive and engaging she was. I thrive in that sort of learning environment, and she was able to tailor the content to where we needed it to go which was helpful”
Lynise Lassiter, Immaculate Heart Central School
“This webinar gave me a better sense of both how to set up an annual grant application strategy and how to determine to which grants to apply. The description of various free-access research tools was also very much appreciated.”
Alan Toda-Ambaras
“Even though our grant team has deep experience, it's always good to revisit the basics to see if there's something new that can be learned. Good tips and tricks were learned that can be incorporated here.”
Barbara Polston, Child Crisis Arizona
“As a very new grant writer, the process can be so daunting that it's very difficult to get started. Diane broke down her process into easy-to-understand, easy-to-follow steps. Each step has a purpose behind why it needs to be done, and that is the biggest take-away for me. I now have a process and the reasons why to go about it a certain way. I highly recommend this course to any grant writers, but specifically beginners. This webinar will save you time and headaches in the future.”
Nicolas Killeen, The Gift of Jazz
“The information was not all old news. I found myself challenged to do better for the organization I'm representing, keeping records of rejected grant opportunities as well as those we would like to pursue. This webinar is going to help us with the next steps in making a better strategy for getting funding.”
Sarah Darr, Gateway Grant Services
“Diane Leonard was an outstanding instructor of today' webinar, with her passion, knowledge and wisdom. Diane presented a marvelous webinar consisting of a wealth of information that will be beneficial in the grant writing process.”
Peggy Benton, WPBS

Diane was very knowledgeable in the grant world. I appreciated the breakdown of all the information and the immediate steps I can take to seek funding for my organization.
Patricia Jones, Three, and A Half Acres
“Diane Leonard's presentations are always so well constructed and engaging - I feel that I can get a satisfactory answer to any question, while she still keeps within the time allotment for the webinar. AS someone who was thrown into the deep end of grants researches with no experience, I've learned a lot of lessons the hard way that I would have avoided entirely if I'd taken the Finding a Needle in a Haystack webinar first!”
Margaret Brady, Lincoln Institute of Land Policy
