OVERVIEW
Finding new foundations to support your work isn’t easy, and figuring out the best way to approach them is even harder. Foundations are fickle and far from one-size-fits-all, with their changing priorities, disparate requirements, varying deadlines, and capricious desires. Even one foundation can change from year to year.
Don’t tear out your hair! Instead, take a deep breath and get serious about strategizing, because approaching and engaging new foundations is imperative if you want to build a robust foundation fundraising program. In this Scotch Talk, Jeremy Beer will talk with James Davenport, Chivaun Wolter, and Allison Rigterink about the savviest ways to find new foundations and win them over.
Some of the questions this quarter of experts will cover—and that you’re probably asking—include:
- How can your organization find new foundation prospects when it seems you’ve already knocked on every door?
- What is the best way to approach a foundation for the first time?
- Do foundations want you to call them? Or does that put them off?
- When a foundation says no . . . does it really mean no forever?
So, on December 12, at 3:00 p.m., Eastern, come (with scotch in hand) to this webinar to learn how to build the foundations of a successful foundation fundraising program. Don’t miss out—this webinar is free, but you need to register to get access!
