This webinar will help you find new sources of grants\, and set up a simple system to renew those you get.\n“Few tasks are faced with such dread as writing and submitting grant proposals. Because you may never know why you do or don’t get funded\, it’s common to look at grant funding as an irrational or chaotic process and grant makers as cruel or fickle. [Actually] grant seeking and grant making are understandable and fairly rational processes\,” wrote Larissa Golden Brown and Martin John Brown in Demystifying Grant Seeking (Jossey-Bass).\nYou will learn the three essential steps:\nGrant Seeking – where to find funders who support work like yours\, including major corporations; local businesses; foundations; government; unions; service clubs; and more. Canadian corporations\, for example\, give millions annually\, but 70% of it comes from just seven industries.\nGrant Writing – what to include in winning proposals\nGrant Keeping– how to maintain sustainable relationships for the long term. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n URL:https://charityvillage.com/event/fundraising-webinars-with-ken-wyman-your-wishes-are-granted/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://charityvillage.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Sustainability-4.png ORGANIZER;CN="Sustainability%20Network":MAILTO:paul@sustainabilitynetwork.ca END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20211216T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20211216T140000 DTSTAMP:20231223T065147 CREATED:20211214T155811Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211214T155811Z UID:636701-1639659600-1639663200@charityvillage.com SUMMARY:How to Boost Online Learning Accessibility in 2022 DESCRIPTION:\n \n \n \n How accessible is your online learning?
