Presentation Summary: Whether you’re writing grants about social justice, program growth, or direct services, you must convey your organization’s journey toward change and the impact of your work in a way that draws a reviewer’s attention and demonstrates your effectiveness. In this session, we’ll take you on a journey digging deep into the details of how to develop language focusing on the many ways you can define your impact on your community or cause; identify and describe the incremental steps that are often needed to achieve lasting change; and how to best provide proof of impact in different and meaningful ways for your mission.
Grab a cup of coffee and join us for this interactive wake-up session, where we'll share with you case studies and details from funded grants highlighting elements that work for a range of missions that include: • Challenges in developing grant strategies • Sample language to solicit funds for large and small advocacy and direct service groups • Knowing what types of stories best demonstrate your case • How to identify and measure key metrics • Incorporating creative language elements to keep your reader engaged with each proposal
Finally, we’ll give you a chance to ask questions about your most challenging issues in demonstrating impact and showing how you are making a difference.
