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?
Researching potential grant funders is a critical step in the grant development process. Having a solid understanding of a potential grant funder’s funding history, current priorities, and application and funding process are 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 grant maker, 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 grant maker 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.
