Growing Your Grants Readiness

Description

The Culture and Practices of Successful Grantseeking Organizations 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 in place the right culture, the right values, the right tools and resources 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. You will: Understand the importance of mission-driven grantsmanship; Be able to identify your organization's needs and resources to support a systematic and strategic grantseeking process; Have a framework for developing and strengthening financial and program accountability; and Know the resources and practices necessary to position your organization for grants readiness.
