CANCELLED - Grant Writing and Fundraising for Non-Profits

Does your non-profit organization need additional funding to launch, continue, or grow? Non-profits are typically funded through fees for services provided, through individual and corporate contributions, and through grants from foundations. This workshop will cover the basics of fundraising and grant writing:

types of fundraising
essential elements before a fundraising campaign begins
the board's role in fundraising
when and why people give
the "asking" (for $$) scenario
keeping donors engaged with the organization and its mission
identifying potential grant sources
grant application preparation
key elements for successful awards
keeping the grant funder happy through publicity and follow-up

Our workshop presenter is Jim Matson, who has more than 25 years of experience helping clients receive over $100 million in grant funding. His organization, Matson Consulting, LLC, helps non-profits secure over $1 million annually through fund-raising, and $8 million annually in federal grant funding.

Hosted by:

The Columbia County Library and your local Greater Aiken SCORE chapter.
