Description:
You're spending the same amount of time on a $50,000 grant as you would on a $500,000 one—and getting a fraction of the impact. That's the uncomfortable truth most grant seekers don't realize until they secure their first major foundation award.
While major gifts dominate fundraising conversations, your most promising foundation investors also deserve strategy as a category. The latter are increasingly shifting toward fewer, larger awards, and they're looking for grantees to serve as investments, not just implementers of programs.
During this webinar, Susan Schaefer will offer specialized strategies to propel your largest foundation awards by rethinking how you approach the top segment of your portfolio.
You will learn:
- why shifting to a major grants lens transforms your funding strategy;
- key differences between competing for annual grants and pursuing your most sizable awards;
- how to position your organization as an investable partner rather than one that runs projects; and,
- internal and external steps to launch or accelerate your major grants program.
You will come away with concrete activities that attract significant foundation investment.
