DEVELOPING YOUR ROADMAP

OF NEW FUNDING SOURCES

Wonder why your organizations needs to "play nice with others?"  Wonder why all the funders are now talking about leveraging resources?  Wonder why we can't just make the funding "pie" bigger instead of protecting our small piece? This interactive presentation, designed for experienced grant proposal developers and fundraisers is based on the experience of  Lubbock-Cooper ISD, Llano Estacado Rural Communities Foundation, Faith Based and Community Organizations, schools and nonprofit organizations who have joined their missions to form consortiums and obtained millions in grants that none could have received if they worked alone.

WHAT IS THE FUNDING INFORMATION LIBRARY?

If you're involved with a nonprofit organization or an individual grantseeker we can help you.

This includes grant directories, books, periodicals and videos on fundraising, board development, executive leadership, marketing and communications and nonprofit management.

This fully searchable database includes detailed profiles of all active U.S. foundations, as well as an extensive file of recent grants awarded by the nation's top funders.

We also have Foundation Grants to Individuals Online, where you can research more than 6,200 foundation and public charity programs that fund artists, students, researchers, and other individual grantseekers.
