• Learn how to present your personal story and know that we are worthy of personal gifts
• Identify individuals who have a high probability of someday becoming significant donors
• Learn how to grow event attendees into also being highly probable personal donors

 This hands on workshop will explore a completely new approach to “charity”. Our current economy requires a paradigm shift in the way you market your organization and in the way we relate to existing and potential donors.  In this workshop you will:

• Learn how to establish relationships which are aligned with your mission and objectives
• Learn the clear, succinct method for establishing marketing partnerships with corporations

 This intensive 3 part workshop will take participants through every single element of a strong grant proposal. The interactive and engaging workshop will go over the traditional proposal formats and the use of Logic Models to strengthen your proposal. Participants in this workshop should be familiar with the basic elements of a proposal and nonprofit structure. The goal of this workshop is for participants to walk away with a solid foundation for proposal development. Tangible take away will include a “proposal”, “line item budget” along with key elements needed for a successful proposal.  

 This 6 hour workshop will demystify the world of private foundations for you and your nonprofit so that you can begin to establish substantive partnerships with potential funders. Participants will learn what they need to know before they approach any foundation, research foundations and their boards, and how to conduct deep research before even submitting a proposal. The goal of the workshop is to provide tools which can be used immediately to independently approach foundations with confidence.
