ONLINE - Grants—How to Get Them and Then What?

When money is tight, when you experience a budget gap, when you launch a new program area, or you expand your audience base, you may think: “Why not get a grant?” This workshop explores the ins and outs of grant seeking, providing some very specific advice about how to be successful at securing outside funding from foundations and corporations. Special attention will be given to the dos and don'ts of grantseeking in the era of COVID-19. Topics include:

• The various types of grants
• What kinds of grants in which dollar amounts work best for different types of funders
• Alternatives to cash grants
• How to determine where grants fit in your overall funding scheme
• What to do when you actually receive a grant to ensure you are well-positioned for the next grant
