The social sector does the work that guides us to a better future. But as federal funding, budget, and policy changes are flying out of Washington, many nonprofits feel a threat to our very survival. Finding a way to diversify our organizations' revenue and reduce the risk is imperative. And grants may be a way for you to do that.

Join us for this interactive workshop, where the NEW team will share insight for leveraging grant funding as a means to bolster your organization's financial resilience, keep your team agile in a tumultuous environment, and fund your daily operations. You'll learn how to make strategic use of this form of funding to resource the programs and services our communities depend upon, especially in uncertain times.

In this workshop, you will:

  • Learn how to find and strategically pursue grant opportunities
  • Explore habits for grant writing that give your team flexibility in uncertain times
  • Practice drafting Letters of Intent and receive real-time feedback from peer leaders

Who should attend?

This workshop is for nonprofit leaders, staff, and volunteers eager for grant-writing resources, strategies, and practice to support their work when it's needed most.
