Breakout 1
Info: - Making Grants Magic: Strategies for Funding Success In Different Program Types
What is the difference between ad Letter of Intent and an actual Grant Application? Why are there so many character limits on narrative responses? Do funders hold it against applicants if they reapply after being previously denied? Should I start a new non-profit? If youβve ever asked yourself any of these questions, join us for a conversation about the βwhyβsβ of different grant opportunities, including LOI-based programs, invitation-only cycles and grants with rolling deadline. Leveraging a cumulative 25 years of managing both public and community-based grant programs, Amy and Deb will help pull back the curtain on the mindset of funders to help attendees understand how to better prepare for and submit successful applications.
