Grants Cafe: Aligning Grant Proposals with Funder Priorities
Details
GRANTS CAFÉ-April 29, 2026, 12:00 PM-1:00 PM
Ever written a strong proposal for a worthy program that was not funded? We’ve all been there. Sometimes proposals are not successful because the narrative does not demonstrate alignment with the funder’s priority areas. This session will guide participants to identify funder priorities, determine whether their organization or program is a good fit, and shape proposals that demonstrate alignment. Whether you are new to grant proposal writing or further along in your career, this session will encourage you to think about proposals from the funder’s point of view.
