Grantseeking 101
Presented by 
Cheryl Kester, CFRE 

Come learn the basics of adding grants to your fundraising toolbox. Before you can write the first word of a proposal, you have to have someone to apply to. Grantseeking 101 walks you through the entire grantseeking cycle from prospect identification, cultivation, solicitation and stewardship. You will get tips on making your grant proposal stand out from the pack. You’ll also get a proposal outline for those times when you have no guidelines to follow and a list of valuable resources to continue building your grant writing skills.

Who should attend? 
The morning session is designed to be an introduction to grantseeking.  The afternoon session is suitable for those beyond the beginner stage.
