Producing Proposals That Work!

This interactive GIZMO is designed to help you view the perspective of a harried foundation executive. The goal is to help you develop a proposal that stands out from hundreds of competing proposals that land on foundation leaders' desks each month, and one can help you meet your program's fundraising goals.

Producing Proposals That Work walks you through the “honing-in” process of preparing proposals that secure the maximum amount of major gifts from well-matched funders.

No matter where your program falls organizationally – a 501c 3, part of an umbrella 501c 3, within a government entity, etc. – it is important that you understand the proposal process, verbiage, preparation required, etc. This knowledge will help you assist and influence executive directors, fund development officers of host organizations, universities, etc. to include your program's funding goals in their overall resource development initiatives.
