Whenever possible, grantseekers are advised to contact a grantmaker before sending a proposal. Preparing for that initial contact and determining what to say is all part of building a relationship with a prospective funder. Poor preparation or lack of it can undermine your efforts and even your organization.
Learn what to do (and not to do) in order to make a memorable and positive first impression at our free live Q&A chat Monday, June 20, 1-2pm ET.
Marilyn Hoyt, nonprofit executive, consultant, and trainer, will answer questions about the right and wrong ways to approach grantmakers during all stages of the funding request process. UPDATE: Meghan Mucklow Petranotonio, Grants Manager for SunTrust Bank's Foundations & Endowments Specialty Practice, will be our second expert panelist and will provide a unique viewpoint from her role in representing several different foundations.
