SUMMARY:Grant Writing for Systems Change
DESCRIPTION:Many advocacy organizations and others involved in systems-change encounter fundraising challenges on multiple fronts. It can be difficult to identify and develop relationships with grantmakers interested in supporting this work\, and it requires skill to illustrate the impact of such work in a way that resonates with funders. The outcomes of systems change and advocacy work are more nuanced\, and making the case for funding such programs requires a specialized style of grant writing. \nJoin Elevate and GrantStation for a webinar covering the basics of grant writing for systems change. Elevate will start with a few definitions and information about lobbying\, and then move into a few more advanced concepts\, such as identifying aligned funders and defining activities\, outputs\, and outcomes in grant proposals. Grant Writing for Systems Change will be held on August 20 at 2:00 pm Eastern time. Register today and save your seat! \n\n\nDescription: \nIf you’re doing advocacy or systems change work\, you may face challenges on two key fronts: identifying and cultivating funders who support this kind of work\, and clearly illustrating the impact your efforts create. Because systems change and advocacy can be more challenging to explain than direct service work\, you’ll need to describe your work differently to make a compelling case for funding.During this webinar\, Eric Spioch of Elevate will explore the complexities of fundraising for advocacy activities\, including those that complement direct service work. \nYou’ll learn: \n\nthe basics of systems change work\, including key definitions and the role of lobbying;\nhow to prospect and identify mission-aligned funders who support advocacy;\nways to cultivate strong relationships with funders invested in systems change;\nhow to define your activities\, outputs\, and outcomes to demonstrate impact; and\,\nhow to prepare compelling grant applications that effectively communicate the value of your advocacy initiatives.\n\nYou’ll leave with skills to properly prepare for and construct an effective grant application for nuanced advocacy work including tools to define their organization’s impact within a systems change framework. \nWho should attend: \nThis session is designed with beginners in mind. It is ideal for development staff and nonprofit professionals from organizations with limited experience in fundraising specifically for systems change work. \nAfter the webinar\, you’ll receive: \n\nslides and handouts;\na link to the webinar recording\n\n\n\n\n Full participation in this webinar is applicable for 1.5 points in Category 1.B -Education of the CFRE International application for initial certification and/or recertification.
