Learn about the Latest Funding Trends and How To Get Funding From Federal and Private Organizations.
Vision and passion are wonderful things - they are the driving force behind the creation of most nonprofits. But it's money that keeps the organization running. Behind the lofty public goals of the organization lie the organization's basic needs, from making payroll to buying equipment and paying the light bill-and all that takes funding.
This webinar will provide you keys to new funding doors that are opening for you!
This session with expert speaker Frank Klimko will provide the latest details on the hottest funding trends and how to get involved. The best way for grant seekers to position themselves is to get on the funding bandwagon early. Frank will offer a wealth of insights to get you on your way to securing some of these new funds. Some of the most exciting and interesting funding is happening where federal and private giving intersects. Millions are available through the government, and with the help of numerous private corporations, influential nonprofits and deep-pocket charities.
Grantseekers need to know where to look for funding and this webinar will discuss the hidden details. You will learn how to shake the money tree. Getting the money is probably the hardest part of the job. Grant seekers have to be willing to go hat in hand to ask for funding, and you have to be able to show why your organization - as opposed to somebody else's - deserves to be funded. That means you have to make your mission and organization as attractive as possible to those potential donors. This webinar can help you deal with the highly competitive world of the nonprofit.
This webinar will also help answer these questions for you:
- How can I follow the funding?
- How can my nonprofit be positioned to secure the funding?
- What types of partnerships I should be forming right now?
Session Highlights

- Creative placemaking, the public-private creation started by the federal Our Town Program, and expanded through numerous initiatives include ArtPlace America.
