Free Grant Webinar: Before You Seek a Grant
This webinar will provide you with a step-by-step checklist to increase your organization's readiness for foundation fundraising, addressing these questions:
1. What groundwork do I have to have in place before approaching foundations for funding?
2. What are the steps to obtaining incorporation and nonprofit status and where can I get some help to do so?
3. What are the characteristics of successful nonprofits?
This course is geared toward representatives of community groups without nonprofit status or new nonprofits with very little experience in grantseeking. We focus specifically on foundation fundraising.
