What does it take to be a successful grantseeking organization? 

Success in grantsmanship involves much more than being able to write a good proposal. As an organization, you must also have the right culture, the right values, the right tools, and the right resources in place to support your grantseeking process and manage your grant-funded programs and services well on behalf of your funder and the community you serve.

In this session, you'll learn how to lay the groundwork for effective grantsmanship in both your organization's culture and its practices. 

BONUS: You’ll be introduced to GrantsMagic U’s exclusive Grants Readiness Assessment Checklist — a detailed tool to help you identify what vital grants-readiness resources and practices are already working well in your organization, and what changes can help you make sure your organization is truly “grants ready"!


Your big take-aways:

  • You'll understand the importance of mission-driven grantsmanship - and why its opposite will undermine your organization's health and success

  • You'll be able to identify your organization's needs and resources to support a systematic and strategic grantseeking process

  • You'll gain a clear, powerful, flexible framework for developing and strengthening financial and program accountability

  • You'll learn exactly what you need to craft a solid, actionable plan to position your organization for longterm, sustainable grants success
