We share concrete tips on how to convey the impact of your work, write killer proposals, identify your best prospects, and avoid the most common pitfalls that befall nonprofit grantseekers. Finally, we share one bonus tip to help any nonprofit immediately secure a $120,000 grant! 

Our seasoned presenter demystifies grant writing done right while answering your peers questions and concerns.
