GFOA Alberta and Remarkable Grants Management Present:
Understanding Grants Better: From What Grants are to Final Reporting
27 March 2025 | 10:00 AM – Noon
The workshop will aim to inform the newcomer and provide a refresh for those familiar with the key components of the grant cycle.
What You Will Learn:
- Introduction – the purpose and types of grants
- Grant readiness – get prepared upfront and streamline the process to make it repeatable
- Finding grants – more than research, choose the most strategic matches
- Relationships with funders – to build and grow connections takes time and effort
- Understand the application process – the parts of an application and what’s their purpose
- Writing the proposal and best practices – learn clear compelling writing and how to avoid pitfalls
- Handling the wait, the wins and the misses – funding agreements, negotiations and learning
- Compliance and Reporting – implement the project and discuss reporting requirements
- applying for grants – from getting grant ready to pressing the “Send” button
- carrying out programs or projects if grants applications are successful
- participating in the financial management and reporting of grants won
- collaborating with non-profits in your community
- Slides from the presentation
- Worksheets – will provide on some topics that can only be covered at a surface level
- Receive an optional follow-up coaching call – one call to a representative per organization (if more than one attends workshop).
I’ve helped non-profits, artists, academics and government organizations win grants they needed then… and the “right-sized” projects are the strategic way to progress, to prove you’re a good steward of other’s funding and set you up for future awards.
While closing in $1 million on grants won may look modest, its the lessons in the wins and the misses that count. I’m here to help, I’ve worked on grant applications including Canadian federal, NOFO (US Federal), province, state, municipal, arts, foundations and the for-profit sector.
I bring a background in tourism management, communications and media relations, project management and sales. I’ve learned from hard lessons and built the soft skills to work with people from all walks of life.
