Failing Forward: Transforming Setbacks Into Growth
This webinar invites mission-driven professionals to reframe the way failure is perceived and unlock its potential for driving success. In the nonprofit, creative, community building sectors, taking bold risks is often necessary to drive meaningful change. However, these risks sometimes result in setbacks. Rather than viewing setbacks as defeats, we can harness them as powerful learning experiences that guide us toward our goals. Hear feature stories from leaders across our industry who have turned their failures into opportunities for growth and innovation. Their insights will demonstrate how setbacks can fuel resilience and lead to greater accomplishments.

Grant Series: The Essentials of Grants Management
Just as it's more efficient and cost-effective for businesses to retain current customers, it's in your favor to put in the relationship-building work with grant makers. But we know that winning a grant can feel like being the dog that catches the car – especially if your nonprofit is green when it comes to grants or is taking on a high-dollar award for the first time. In this session, we'll help you overcome that queasy feeling, breaking down the standard requirements funders impose on grantees, offering suggestions for ensuring you consistently meet grantors' requirements, and providing tips for ensuring your relationships with funders remain open, honest, and mutually beneficial.

Grant Series: Polished Grant Proposals
This session will take you beyond the basics of project planning, helping you turn those back-of-the-napkin scribblings into a robust, well-designed plan with clearly defined activities and roles, SMART(IE) goals and evaluation methods, a detailed budget, and a strategy for sustaining the project or program beyond the grant period. Grants represent a partnership between your organization and the grant maker. By providing the specifics, funders can make an award confidently, knowing you’ve given your project lots of thought and are considering its sustainability.

Grant Series: Project Planning & Prospecting
Your nonprofit organization is doing amazing things in your community, and you’re interested in bringing in grant funds to support or, even better, expand your work. But do you know how to present your organization and your ideas in a way that will capture funders’ attention and get them to write a check? Are you unsure of where to start when it comes to finding grant opportunities? This session will help you think like a grantmaker, providing an easy-to-follow method for planning projects based on standard elements included in most grant applications. You’ll also get a crash course on where to start prospecting for grants and tips for vetting opportunities to make the best use of your grantseeking time and effort.
