How to Package Your Business as Usual Funding Needs
2021-03-23 14:00 - 15:00 | Live Webinar Online via Zoom
Securing Grant Funding for Business as Usual
It is very common for nonprofits to need funding for the day-to-day service delivery and program delivery. While there are some funders that prefer “new” or “innovative” funding ideas, there are many who are keen to support your mission by building your capacity to keep on doing what you do, especially when you do it well!
This webinar will take you through a project planning template using a couple of different project examples of what might be considered business as usual.
You will leave this webinar with a clear understanding of how to articulate your day to day funding needs into clear and concise projects that you can present to your donors and funders.
