Webinar Description:
When I started seeking grants in the early 90s, things were pretty straightforward: you mailed a great proposal to a funder and got a check. You would follow up with a thank you note and send your annual report. DONE!
Today, the list of items we have to track is expanding faster than the universe (which is about 11 million miles a minute because I’m a nerd). The checks aren’t much bigger, and our resources are actually shrinking. So how can you manage the chaos?
This webinar includes lecture, examples, and downloadable worksheets/templates that will help you tame the chaos. We’ll discuss the key sources of chaos and strategies to overcome them. You’ll be able to post your burning questions and I’ll address them before the end of the session.
This webinar is a promotional webinar by GPA's Annual Sponsor. However, Grant Holster is one of many tools discussed, along with other free, low-cost, and high-cost resources available for you.
