Before You Seek a Grant: A Checklist for New Nonprofits
July 14, 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
This webinar will provide you with a step-by-step checklist approach to help increase your organization's readiness for foundation fundraising. This course is geared towards representatives of community groups without nonprofit status or new nonprofits with very little experience in grantseeking in general. It will focus specifically on foundation fundraising.

Grantseeking Basics
August 18, 3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
This introductory course provides an overview of the funding research process for those seeking grants from foundations, corporations, and grantmaking public charities. The webinar will cover: what to have in place before you seek a grant, what you need to know about grantmakers and how nonprofits are supported, how to identify funding partners, and resources for your grantseeking efforts.

Proposal Writing Basics
August 24, 1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.
In this webinar you will learn the basics of writing a grant proposal for your nonprofit organization. This is an introductory overview of the process for new proposal writers.

Proposal Budgeting Basics
August 25, 3:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.
This webinar is geared to the novice grantseeker and will answer budgeting questions such as: what kinds of expenses are covered under "personnel," what level of detail to include for non-personnel expenses, what types of expenses can be included in the "overhead" category, and what is the relationship between the budget for your project and the overall budget for your nonprofit organization.

These webinars are offered as part of the Foundation Directory Online (FDO) service at the library. This service was made possible through a grant from the Findlay-Hancock County Community Foundation as part of their capacity-building initiative aimed at strengthening local nonprofit organizations.
