Many agencies and organizations find themselves up against a wall of deadlines, frantically chasing grant after grant, without having a comprehensive plan to guide grant-seeking efforts.

Innovation and creativity count when planning your grant-seeking goals, and can significantly increase your present—and future—funding potential. This workshop will help attendees learn how to:

• Identify and prioritize the most fundable features of your projects,
• Tap into unique sources of funding, and
• Use green grants to raise capital funds for construction projects.

Whether your client is a municipal or state agency, a hospital, a university, or tribal government—building a strategic funding plan can provide a competitive advantage. Developing and aligning your projects strategically will also introducing funding options that you haven’t considered before. For example, adding a research component to a sustainable design project is one successful approach to securing multiple grants from multiple funding sources.

During the 90-minute webinar, you will learn recommended steps to building a strategic funding plan, including an example of how this strategy was successful in raising grant support to pay for the construction of a ROOF—something that wouldn’t normally be given a second glance by grant-making organizations.

Your presenter will provide guidance about:

• the value and importance of in-depth grants research and how it can help your clients decide if and when to pursue grants,
• ways in which tracking tools can maximize your competitiveness and success rate,
• how to diversify your funding portfolio,
• creative ways to broaden your pool of prospects,
• ways to appeal to corporate sponsors, and
• how to leverage one grant for others.

You’ll see numerous examples of how this approach can be implemented, including step-by-step guidance about how to implement these grant-seeking concepts into your projects. This presentation will provide you with a host of tools to help reach and exceed your grant-seeking goals.

This webinar session is intended to serve intermediate and advanced grant professionals, fund development professionals, and executive directors.
