This session is part of Winning More Grants Through Solid Grant Management (Power of 3 Series): A Step-by-Step Guide to Reporting, Site Visits, Storytelling, Project Management, and More
Description:
Successful grant management is more than completing forms and uploading attachments. Every report submitted, every site visit hosted, every email sent is actually an opportunity to deepen your organization's relationship with the people behind the funding.
Many grant professionals assume that cultivating funders is strictly a fundraiser's job, or that relationship-building only matters with private foundations and not public agencies. And if you're more introverted, the idea of "working the room" at a gala might make this feel like someone else's territory entirely. But connecting with grant-making organizations doesn't have to feel salesy or forced. Simple, planned communication strategies can help both private and public funding agencies better understand how their grant awards are truly transforming communities, which can open doors to more funding in ways you might not expect.
During this interactive session, Amanda Day and Kimberly Hays de Muga will share real-world examples of how email, phone calls, social media, and even snail mail have successfully built lasting relationships with funders from small family foundations to state and federal agencies. Whether you're an extrovert, an introvert, or somewhere in between, you'll walk away with practical strategies you can start using right away.
You'll learn:
- how reaching out beyond minimum reporting requirements can lead to more grant opportunities;
- how site visits, presentations, and informal updates can strengthen funder partnerships;
- communication strategies that work for every personality type; and,
- how to support board members, fundraisers, and other team members with information and talking points.
