Description

According to Giving USA, Americans gave $471.44 billion to charities in 2020, an increase of 5.1% over 2019. Charitable giving supports religion (faith-based); education; human services; contributions to foundations; public society benefits; health; international affairs; arts, culture, and humanities; environment/animals; and direct support to individuals. Grantmaking is the most common mechanism used by the government, foundations, and individuals to fund nonprofit services and ideas. In turn, this makes grant writing a daunting undertaking as nonprofits must communicate a situation or need and explain why they should receive monetary support. In this session, participants will receive information on the grant writing process and how to develop standard grant proposal sections. The instructor will also share tips on how to prevent common grant writing mistakes.
