Youth Forward will be partnering with the Duke Center for Child and Family Policy to host a series of three free interactive sessions to help organizations Build a Better Grant.

In this final session, we will be exploring what to say and how to say it. Effective writing of grant proposals and other funding requests is critical to the financial sustainability of your organization, but probably something you never learned in school! This webinar will begin by discussing how to “build your case” by describing what you do, why you do it, and what evidence you have that it will work. We will discuss common pitfalls as well as components funders are most commonly seeking. Participants must first register for the workshop, as spaces will be limited. All participants must then submit a copy of a recent grant proposal for review to knorton@chcyouth.org. Grant proposals should be brief and can be for a program or for the organization. If participants do not submit their grant proposal by June 16th, their registration will be canceled. If you sign up for this session, make sure that you check out and register for the final session in the Build a Better Grant Series, Logic Model Development and Evaluation Planning.
