Grants are funds that help nonprofit organizations finance projects, programs, research, or services to solve problems and advance opportunities in communities they serve. Organizations are also better able to fill gaps and sustain operations that expand and meet community needs. Are you grant-ready? What kind of grant are you looking for? How do you tell your story, and ensure it stands out to donors? How do you recognize and avoid common pitfalls? These are important questions this course will examine in the Grant Writing Basics 4-part series.
