Writing Winning Grant Applications
There is a big difference between being able to write a grant and winning funding from foundations. In this masterclass, we’ll call out some common missteps and “sacred cows” in grant writing and show you how to win more funding through your applications.
Securing Corporate Funding
At almost $17 billion in gifts during 2020, corporate funding has proven to be an invaluable resource for nonprofit organizations across the globe. In this masterclass, learn about the various forms of corporate funding, how to make a strong appeal, and how to build relationships that can benefit both your organization and the corporation long term.
End-of-year fundraising appeal tips and tricks
Ah - the end-of-year appeal… the tried and true fundraising method that most nonprofits don’t really know how to use. When do you send it? What do you say? Who do you send it to? Spoiler alert: these are the wrong questions. Join us as we unpackage all the misnomers about end-of-year fundraising and share with you our tips and tricks that actually work.
