  TITLE: Grant Research
  CITY: Phoenix
  DATE: Thursday September 24th, 2009
  Time: 10:00am-11:15am

Hearing what grantmakers are saying will astonish you: a majority of grant proposals do not meet Foundations’ stated guidelines. The more meticulously you delve into the details in your application, the more thoughtful questions you ask, and the more you strive for contacts within the foundation, the better your chances are to securing the assistance you are seeking. This session is perfect for grant writers who are just starting out. In this section we will discuss:
   
1. Searching for Gold: Looking at new and old resources for the perfect grantmaker.
2. Electronic and Technical Resources: Using the Internet to find foundation information quickly and easily.
3. Guides and Style Manuals: How to know what they really expect.
4. Prioritizing: How to choose the foundation that is just right for you.
     
    For grant seekers that are doing this for the first time, this is a perfect sitting since they will understand how to find the right funding gradually.
