Your ticket to better proposals
Are you forced to cut much-needed staff or services because your organization doesn’t have sufficient funding?
Are you falling short of fulfilling your special role in the community?
As a nonprofit, public sector agency, or tribe, you never forget that others depend upon you. You want to ensure that you provide the best possible services to make a difference in your community. You want to contribute to lasting change for your clients.
You have high goals for your organization that you aren’t always prepared to meet. There are days when it feels as if you are in over your head. You’re either lurching forward or struggling to keep up with the pace of growth and change—or facing the ongoing demands of delivering quality services on a limited budget. Sometimes, unfortunately, you find yourself deciding what—or who—can stay or go.
You must often wear many hats, from organizational head or project manager to service provider and sometimes, even, fundraiser or grant writer. The choices and challenges can be exhilarating, yet overwhelming. You feel stretched thin, and you worry that you’re not doing your job well enough. Other times you feel that your life has become nothing but work.
Maybe you’re tossing around the idea for a new project. Maybe you need funding to keep a critical part of your program alive. Maybe you need more staff or a new building, or see the opportunity to reach out to new clientele. It all amounts to needing to bring a steady flow of funds into your organization to survive and grow and meet the very real and pressing needs you are committed to serve.

- How can you convince funders to sign on to the good work you are doing?
- How can you move from writing proposals that sometimes hit the mark to writing proposals that rise to the top of the pile?
