How to Approach a Foundation:
From Initial Contact to Getting Funded - What Does It Take?

Atlanta

Intended for fundraisers with some experience under their belts, though not with foundations.

Free
75 minutes

This new class will teach you how to:

  • Initiate contact with potential funders.
  • Plan calls and meetings.
  • Build partnerships with donors.
Special Presentation on August 12!
Following this class on August 12, join us for an informative and illustrative workshop on evaluation research techniques that investigate the mission, goals, and objectives of your organization. In this workshop, you will:
  • learn how to evaluate your organization by defining its inputs, activities, outputs, and outcomes and how they relate to your mission
  • learn how to create a logic model that provides an evaluative synopsis of your organization or a particular program or service that it offers
  • view case studies that provide examples of successful evaluation techniques used by social service organizations
    Evaluation research is critical to the growth and survival of your organization. As more and more funding agencies are requiring program evaluations before you can be approved or reapproved for grants, this workshop will teach you how to navigate through the evaluation process.
    Presented by Melanie Sloan Edwards, President/CEO, of Camel Consulting.
