As your grant programs grow, you have an important decision to make: Should you hire an external grantwriter or do the work yourself?
This isn’t always an easy choice. It can be hard to effectively evaluate both the benefits and drawbacks.
During this free TargetED, Alice Ruhnke will help you weigh each option so your organization can move forward with a decision.
You’ll learn:
the pros and cons of working with an external grantwriter versus doing the work “in house”;
the key questions to consider to help you make a sound decision;
why you can’t just write the cost of the grantwriter into the proposal; and,
the best practices when working with external consultants or building your own team.
This TargetED includes 30 minutes of practical teaching and 15 minutes of Q&A with Alice. It is perfect for executive directors, founders, and program directors who want to make the best use of their limited time and resources.
And even if your organization has already made the decision to move in one direction or another, you’ll still walk away with helpful tips in getting the most out of that decision.
