Get your organization ready to submit applications and receive funding!
Join Nonprofit Center Director Cathy Brown ONLINE for an interactive, 'start from the beginning' VIRTUAL workshop series on planning, developing and preparing a grant proposal for submission. If you have never developed a grant proposal before or want to go back at the beginning and fine tune the basics, this is the series for you!
Session 1 April 8, 2024 Organizational Readiness will help you prepare your organization to receive grants. Spoiler alert - there's more to it than "we need money!". Leave this session with a clear understanding of what your organization needs to have in place to be a strong grant applicant.
Session 2 April 22, 2024 Project Development will help you take your idea or ideas and turn them into fundable projects. We will work to develop all of the aspects of the project to support an application to Community Foundation of Broward, as well as many other potential funders. Leave this session with the knowledge and confidence to tell the story and develop the components needed for a successful application.
Session 3 May 6, 2024 Proposal Application will help you learn how to match your project to the right funder and refine the language to match funder priorities and values with yours. Leave this session with a peer reviewed proposal ready (or close to it) to be submitted to the funder of your choice, including CFB.
You may invite up to 3 people with your organization to participate, but please note that everyone who registers needs to register for and commit to all 3 sessions for the most effective use of time and the interactive learning strategy used for this series. The sessions are truly interactive, and all participants will be expected to actively participate.
If you are an experienced grant writer or have had numerous proposals successfully funded throughout your career, you will likely prefer our Grants Refresh session. That session will be specifically focused on those more experienced with this work. Check back for updates on our next session!
