There are two ways nonprofits typically approach grant funding: reacting to whatever opportunities land in their inbox or building a deliberate strategy for each project or program that needs support. In today's environment of federal dollars shrinking, more funding routed through states, and private foundations stepping in to fill gaps, the second approach isn't optional anymore. It's survival. Join GrantStation President Alice Ruhnke for this fast-paced, information-packed training built for the realities of 2026-27. You'll leave with a step-by-step process for building a grant-seeking strategy that holds up no matter what the funding landscape throws at you next. You'll learn how to: Benchmark your organization against similar nonprofits to set realistic, achievable grantseeking goals; Identify the tools and resources you need to build (or rebuild) a solid grantseeking program; Develop a grants research process that's consistent, efficient, and adaptable as opportunities shift; Weigh different strategic approaches for funding each program or project, including diversifying beyond federal sources; Build an action plan to secure (and keep) the funding your organization needs. If you're worried about your fundraising plan for the next 12–18 months, this session will help you replace guesswork with a grant-seeking approach built for resilience.
