ABOUT THE TOPIC:

More and more grant funders want data that demonstrates the value of your programs and their investment in it. Bring information about your programs and we will discuss ways to develop an evaluation plan that satisfies the funder without taking an inordinate amount of time to implement.

These monthly programs provide an opportunity for development professionals and other nonprofit executives and volunteers with responsibility for raising revenue for their organization to talk about a specific topic in a relaxed, informal environment. The format includes a brief overview of the topic at hand with an opportunity for individuals to share their experiences and learn from each other. Great opportunity to network as well! In nonpandemic times (hopefully starting in June or July!), we gather over a glass of wine. Until then, we will use Zoom to gather virtually ... and feel free to bring your own wine!

This 5-part online series will teach you how to effectively plan, research, and write a grant application with detailed instruction and hands-on exercises that walk you through the grant review process. Peer review will allow you to see how your classmates approach their grants while getting feedback on how they view yours. Everyone who completes the class receives a certificate good for one free hour of grant review and consultation from the Wastyn & Associates team (a $150 value).
