Don’t change your story. Change your approach.

Grant proposals are a great tool for generating interest in your program and for funding your charitable work. But writing a full proposal requires a complex, multifaceted approach, and technical writing skills. Without a grant-writer, there’s a lot of opportunity for mistakes.

Don’t you wish applying for funding was easier?

We do too! That’s why we’re hosting this free 1-hour training to show you how to win grants without a grant-writer!

Join us to discover the most common mistakes made when seeking funding and learn how to avoid them! During our short time together, you’ll learn:

• How to prepare a 2-page grant proposal. You’ll learn the format grant-writers use, including the number of (micro) paragraphs you’ll need.
• How to ensure your proposal is worth reading. You’ll learn the top 3 things to “NEVER” do, and the top 3 things to “ALWAYS” do when writing your 2-pager.

What do you think of when you think of a business’ brand? Do you think of their messaging? Does a business’ logo, color, aesthetic style come to mind?

Creating a successful brand, brand strategy, and overall brand system can help separate you from your competition and can be what brings you more business over competitors. Branding is often times just thought of just as a business’ logo or how you conduct business. Although those are indeed part of branding, creating an entire brand strategy runs deeper and can bring more meaning to the products you create and the services you offer as a business owner.

So what actually makes a “brand”? And how can creating a brand benefit your business? Branding is something that all businesses, large and small, can consider in order to make them stand out in their current market.

In this webinar, our presenter will go over the basics of branding, what is branding, how you can integrate branding in your business, and how to evaluate the effectiveness of your current brand. He will share ideas as to what is needed in order to brand your business and how you can better convey your Why to your business, as well as where a logo fits in within your brand communication.
