You know that feeling on deadline day, when you finally push SUBMIT and your proposal vanishes into The Grantmaker’s Black Box - for weeks, months - maybe forever?

Then she’ll host a robust “ask anything” discussion about your own right-now challenges and concerns in navigating that Black Box with greater success!
