🎉 You’re Invited: GET FUNDED WorkshopHow to Position Your Organization for CRA & Bank Partnerships
Have you ever reached out to a bank for sponsorship or partnership support… and never heard back?
You’re not alone.
Many business owners, nonprofit leaders, ministry leaders, and community organizers experience the same frustration—submitting letters, proposals, and requests only to receive silence or rejection. The truth is, it’s not that banks don’t care. Often, organizations simply aren’t positioned in the way banks need in order to respond.
This half-day certification workshop was created to remove the confusion and discouragement around bank partnerships and CRA funding—and to give you a clear, proven strategy to move forward with confidence.
🔥 What You’ll Learn
âś” What the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) is and why banks need community partners
âś” What banks look for when considering sponsorships and partnerships
âś” How to present your programs in CRA-aligned, bank-approved language
âś” How to create a CRA-Ready Funding Portfolio
âś” How to connect with the right people inside the bank
✔ The do’s and don’ts of outreach that gets responses
