Grant fundraising can feel overwhelming, time-consuming, and often frustrating — especially when organizations feel that they are investing significant effort into researching opportunities but still struggle to gain traction with grant-making foundations. At the same time, many organizations sense there is untapped potential in grant funding, but aren’t sure how to get started or how to focus their energy where it will have the most impact.

Successful grant fundraising is about more than submitting applications. It requires clear alignment between your organization’s mission and funder priorities, as well as a strategic approach to identifying the opportunities most likely to result in support. With the right tools, you can move from scattered searching to a more intentional and effective grant strategy.

This workshop will give you:

• tools to identify and research grant-making foundations more efficiently 
• strategies for assessing funder alignment with your mission and programs 
• guidance on prioritizing opportunities with the strongest likelihood of success 
• a clearer, more structured approach to building your grant prospect list
