Attracting Support from Community Foundations

Many nonprofits focus their grant seeking on large national foundations, even though community foundations are often more accessible, have strong local ties, and give away billions to charities each year.  How can you get the attention of community foundations and win support for your cause? Join us for a 75-minute webinar to get advice from two community foundation leaders. They’ll explain how to determine if your nonprofit is a fit for a potential grant maker, ways to approach and engage program officers, and how to write proposals that rise above the competition.
