This session is part of Winning More Grants Through Solid Grant Management (Power of 3 Series): A Step-by-Step Guide to Reporting, Site Visits, Storytelling, Project Management, and More
Description:
Full disclosure: no grant implementation goes exactly as planned in the original proposal. Ever. And when things start to go off the rails, the instinct for many organizations is to ignore it and hope it resolves itself. It won't. And left unaddressed, it can lead to loss of funding now and in the future.
Most grant management training focuses heavily on tracking expenses, which is vitally important. But that's a little like carefully managing your household budget while never noticing the leaking roof or the cracked walls. Outcomes, success stories, and honest documentation of challenges are equally critical components of successful grant management and far too often, they're overlooked until it's too late.
In this fast-paced, interactive webinar, Amanda Day and Kimberly Hays de Muga will share best practices for efficiently and ethically collecting data, gathering client success stories, and documenting when things go sideways. They'll even walk through how to navigate difficult conversations with directors or senior management who may pressure you not to report unfavorable outcomes on a grant report.
You'll learn:
- how to spot grant management issues early, before they threaten your funding;
- how to gather program outcomes and client stories respectfully and promptly;
- best practices for documenting challenges and lessons learned in compelling ways; and,
- how stronger outcomes reporting can deepen your partnerships with funders.
Who should attend:
This session is perfect for grant writers, grant administrators, development directors who manage a grants team, and anyone who wants to escape the stress of inefficient grant management.
