Make no mistake about it - grantseeking is a people-driven process - and key to your success is the grantmakers themselves. But who are these people? How do we connect with them? And what do they want from us? Being a grantmaker isn't as easy as you might think. In this webinar, presenter Maryn Boess will draw from her own grantmaking experience (and that of dozens of other program officers, reviewers, and decision-makers) to share a realistic look at what it takes to create funder relationships that are authentic, high-integrity, and that work for you. You’ll learn:
- What grantmakers really want most of all as organizations and as individuals.
- What it means to “think through the grantmaker’s eyes”.
- The challenges that program officers and review teams face in their decision-making.
- Four keys to persuasive proposals and how each connects with the reader’s own personal sense of purpose.
- How a proposal makes a good or bad first impression in just a few seconds and why.
- The three powerhouse proposal sections that must pull their own weight - and then some - for your proposal to work.
- The principle of limited mental energy and how it applies to the choices we make in crafting proposals.
- You'll also meet my friend grumpy grantmaker, and learn about the 12-12-12 Scenario and the Systematic Proposal Buzz-Phrase Synthesizer, and much more.
