ABCs of Grantseeking Susan Berman November 8, 2018

Themes Grants can be helpful Do your homework Gather a team Don’t contort yourself Follow instructions

Grantseeking Steps Research foundation Develop project concept Establish contact if possible Write and submit proposal Follow up

Looking Back Questions/reflections from last session Explorations Foundation Directory Online: https://fconline.foundationcenter.org/ Funding Information Network: https://grantspace.org/find-us/

Letters of Inquiry (LOIs): Hevrutah Read LOI from E-Prep School What do you find compelling? What (if any) gaps/weaknesses do you find? Review “What should be included in a letter of inquiry?” Any reflections?

Writing Tips Letters of inquiry and proposals should be: Clear Concise Consistent Well researched Evocative (but not over the top) Carefully edited (get help!)

Proposal Outline Executive Summary Project Narrative Budget/Budget Narrative Attachments

Proposal Narrative – “Traditional” Opening/request Need/opportunity Goals/objectives Project plan (steps, timeline, staffing) Evaluation Sustainability Organizational capacity Conclusion

Proposal Questions: Hevrutah Review the proposal narrative questions for Natan Fund, Covenant Foundation and Nathan Cummings Foundation Which questions make you wonder, “What are they asking? What do they really want to know?” Do any questions surprise or intrigue you? Challenge or annoy you? Do you notice any trends in the “non-traditional” questions?

Attachments Tax determination letter Organizational budget (current year) Budgets and actuals (past 2-3 years) Audited financial statements (past 2-3 years) Board list and affiliations Brief staff bios

Follow-up Send written acknowledgement Follow instructions re: letter of agreement, reporting, press releases Keep in touch – with good news and challenges

Reflections and Next Steps We will email this PowerPoint, a link to the recording of the session and a list of resources. Please complete the survey! Tell us what you want to continue to explore in this and other fields. Thank you!
