Organization Training Opportunities
GrantStation | Writing a Compelling Statement of Need | Funders want to address real problems in their giving areas, which means your proposal must demonstrate why your program is necessary and important to your community. However, too many proposals present a need that is vague, not supported by data, or misaligned with other sections of a grant application. Any of these issues make it easy for reviewers to overlook your proposal. During this TargetED, Alice Ruhnke will show you how to craft a compelling statement of need that highlights the importance of your project in your community. | Webinar date: August 5, 2024, 2:00 to 2:45 PM Eastern Time | Register here.
