Many foundations use similar guidelines for grant applicants to follow. While these common questions save grantwriters time, do the answers convey what grantmakers really want to know in order to determine which grants to award? This Webinar will explore the trends related to what funders want to know about their applicants and how this aligns with common grant applications, using Colorado as a case study. Seventeen representatives of Colorado’s nonprofit and grantmaking communities joined together to revise the statewide common application and report form over a two-year period from 2006 to 2008. Over 250 nonprofits organizations and grantmakers provided feedback to the drafting committee throughout the process. Before this revision, Colorado’s application was very similar to those currently used in other states. In order to help grantwriters understand what funders are really looking for and how to make the best case for their organization, this Webinar will examine the reasons Colorado grantmakers changed the common application.
This Webinar will benefit attendees by teaching them techniques to develop strong grant applications that anticipate the kinds of information that grantmakers need. Participants will benefit by shifting their perception of grants as simply a fundraising tool, and learn how they can use grantwriting as a vehicle for organizational planning and assessment. The session will also help grantwriters spark conversations with their board, leadership and other staff members to position their organization to win grants.
Participants will learn:
