  TITLE: Grant Research
  CITY: Cincinnati
  DATE: Sept 15th 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.

Amy Rubin
Principal
WHITEPAPER BLUSKY
With a B.A from the University of New Hampshire and an M.A. from Indiana University, Amy valued a truly liberal arts education that exposed her to philosophy, science, literature and history and was naturally drawn to the educational environment of nonprofits. She has worked for more than 14 years in both marketing and development for some of Indianapolis’ top educational, cultural and social-service nonprofits, including The Orchard School, the Eiteljorg Museum, the Indiana State Museum, Conner Prairie, Children’s Bureau, Inc., the Writers’ Center of Indiana and Y-Press, Inc.

Amy’s dual marketing and development background lends itself to a unique vision in capacity building and organizational development. While many consulting firms specialize in one or the other, Amy and WHITEPAPER BLUESKY Consulting leverage organizational marketing and development, making them work hard for each other and rooting them in a common, clearer organizational vision.

WHITEPAPER BLUSKY Consulting is a full-service marketing and development consulting firm for nonprofits, with a specialization in white-paper and other research-based paper development.

Amy is a member of the Association of Fundraising Professionals and the Nonprofit Solutions Initiative of IUPUI.
