Tuesday, February 14, 2017
How Women’s Rights NGOs Can Identify Prospects, Make a Pitch, and Improve Their Funding Success Rate Exponentially.
Foundations provided over $55 billion in grants to US non-profits last year and the US government awarded over $198 billion of support in 2014. Now that the economy is strengthening, this giving is increasing substantially. This support has provided the much-needed capital and credibility to non-profits, and implementing a few best practices and strategies, enables the women’s rights organization to identify the right prospects, get a call or meeting to make the pitch, and improve the success rate from 5% to 50%.
