Round Table Discussion on Obtaining a Foundation Grant For a 501(c)(3) Organization like Lily Dale

A Fundraiser for the Woman's Day Event Committee

Limit 10 participants

The participants in this interactive discussion should have a current affiliation with a 501(c)(3) organization and may be exploring funding for a project. Previous grant writing experience is a definite plus, so we can share experiences and learn from each other, but is not required.

Topics: 

• Locating a foundation and researching it; 
• Project fit with a foundation’s mission and special interests; 
• Best practices for completing an application; 
• Project evaluation strategies; 
• From the grantor’s perspective; 
• The pros and cons of submitting multiple grants.
