Program Details:

Writing a good sustainability plan alone it NOT going to keep you going.  Nor will it get the funding you need in these tough economic times. Organizations must have the infrastructure and implementable forward thinking plans.  You must also have solid, well developed project ideas before you seek funding from outside resources.
 
Take the opportunity to learn more about the process that allows billions of dollars to be awarded in grants to projects that have developed innovative solutions for problems that are of concern to the communities/populations served.
 
 Successful sustainability and funding development plans have the same factors in common;

  1. They address pressing problems in an innovative way.
  2. They are carefully planned, organized, focused, and, most importantly, convincing and persuasive.

However, creating effective, compelling proposals can be difficult if you do not have a good understanding of the practical aspects of funding development.

What you will Learn:

This four hour two-session webinar will include the nuts and bolts of how to write a proposal, writing goals and objectives, the grant makers perspective, developing a budget, establishing need with hard data, developing solid evaluation mechanisms, creating in-depth sustainability plans, learn how to understand the importance of linkages, coalitions and partnerships when applying for funding and where to find diverse sources of funding. 

Finally, an important focus of the webinar will be how to link grants with creating innovative projects linked to sustainable communities, environmental/green economy, and technology, with specialized components focused on Federal funding, the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA- Stimulus) funding among others. Program participants will learn;

  • Organizational Assessment and Readiness
  • Effective Marketing Strategies
  • Financial Management
  • Sustainable Strategies
  • Fund Development
  • Fundraising
    •

Who should attend:

Executives and program administrators and developers, community-based development organizations (CBDO), grant writers, grant makers and monitors, state and county agencies, health, housing & social service agencies, foundation administrators and corporate giving organizations, among others.
