Upgrade your grant budget to attract major foundation funders.
Budgets are an often overlooked, last-minute add. But if you take that budget from an afterthought to a core storytelling tool, it can make your foundation proposal stand out by making bold statements about your organization and its plans.
This webinar will assume basic knowledge of the various pieces of a proposal budget and focus on how to prepare and present it for maximum impact on your grant reviewers.
