Determining Your Best Funding Opportunities
If you have been in the grantseeking space for a while, you’ve probably had stakeholders approach you with a grant application and say, “We need to apply for this…”
However, it’s important that you don’t apply to every opportunity simply because it is available. Submitting a proposal requires time and human capital, which means the return on investment for different funding opportunities is not always worth the costs.
In order to take your grant strategy to the next level, you need to identify and prioritize the opportunities that have the highest return on investment.
During this webinar, Alice Ruhnke will show you how to create a customized Decision Matrix that can help your nonprofit determine the best funding opportunities to pursue.
You’ll learn:
how to identify criteria to make decisions;
how to weigh criteria;
how to overcome application guidelines that consistently knock you out of the running; and,
how to use the results to build consensus and direction.
You’ll leave ready to develop a process that is objective and clear to all stakeholders so when new funding opportunities arise, you already have a system in place to determine the best approach for your organization.
This session is perfect for nonprofit leaders, development staff, program staff, and consultants who are seeking the highest return on investment from their grantseeking program.
