Once you get started, the grant seeking process is daunting and can stop a worthy organization from applying for the perfect grant. The hardest part is interpreting the Foundation’s guidelines and determining what exactly you need to do. This part of the Conference will send you home with a clear plan of how to cover all the right bases. Our speakers will cover the following topics:

   
1.   What are the parts that compose a complete proposal package?
2.   How can your writing style make your proposal unique and attention grabbing?
3.   How can your design elements and basic layouts strengthen you proposal?
4.   Can you customize your proposal packet to meet you grantmaker’s guidelines and create a new relationship?
