Attracting six-figure grants can be a game changer for nonprofits by offering the kind of funding that fosters sustainability, fuels growth, strengthens infrastructure, and drives long-term impact. In times of economic uncertainty and disappearing federal funding, large foundation grants can also be a life-saver for many nonprofits.

Yet these major awards aren’t won with strong grant writing alone — they’re the result of thoughtful planning, strategic positioning, and meaningful relationship-building.

In this 75-minute webinar, we’ll explore how the funding landscape is shifting and what it takes today to compete for major grants.

Our speakers will walk through key steps for securing big grants — including how to position your mission, communicate your vision, and engage funders as long-term partners. 

You’ll learn how to:

• Evaluate your organization’s readiness to pursue large foundation grants
• Convey your vision and strategy for change in ways that inspire grant makers
• Build and sustain relationships with funders that lead to multi-year support
