How can your nonprofit practice good grantsmanship? This four-part webinar shares best practices in writing proposals to Hawaiʻi trusts and foundations. Parts I through III are geared towards organizations that are writing grant proposals in-house rather than working with a professional grant writer. Part IV shares best practices for those organizations considering outsourcing this function.
The webinar includes:
- Part I: Money for Mission – understanding where grants sit in the overall sustainability picture.
- Part II: Hawaiʻi Foundations – who’s out there and how do you find a good fit with them.
- Part III: Best Practices in Writing the Proposal – step by step guidance and tips on what to include in each part of your proposal.
- Part IV: To Outsource, Or Not To Outsource – tips and considerations to determine whether your organization is best served writing grant proposals itself, or securing the services of a professional grant writer.
- In addition to the four recordings listed above, you will receive access to PDFs of each slide deck as well as additional recommended resources.
