Still recycling the same proposal\nand hoping this is the year it finally lands? In this upcoming grant writing session\, Nicki\nBentley-Colthart\, CEO and Grant Strategist of The Grant Advantage\, will help nonprofits\nbreak free from stagnant funding cycles and start competing for larger\, more strategic\nopportunities. \nIn today’s funding climate\, where federal dollars are tighter and foundations and\ncorporations are flooded with more proposals than ever\, good enough is not good\nenough anymore. This session pulls back the curtain on what separates routine\, cut and\npaste grant applications from bold\, well positioned proposals that rise to the top. You will\nlearn how to shift your mindset\, structure your narrative\, and clearly communicate\nimpact\, scale\, and readiness so your proposal does not just get submitted\, it gets\nnoticed. If you are ready to stop blending in and start standing out\, this session is for\nyou. \nAbout the Speaker: \nNicki Bentley-Colthart \nBeverly “Nicki” Bentley-Colthart\, MSW\, Consultant and Owner of The Grant Advantage\, is an experienced grant writer with nearly 30 years of researching\, drafting\, and submitting winning proposals to local\, state\, and Federal sources.  Nicki has guided nonprofits\, higher education institutions\, and state and local governments in securing $50 million dollars in grant funding since 2020. \nMs. Bentley-Colthart holds both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in social work from West Virginia University.  She has honed her grant writing skills over the years as a social worker employed in various West Virginia social/human services agencies and as a grant administrator for two institutions of higher education (West Virginia State University and West Virginia Wesleyan College).  She has developed and delivered training workshops on grant writing basics\, partnership development\, budget planning\, program evaluation\, as well as served as an adjunct instructor at West Virginia Wesleyan College – teaching courses on grant writing and nonprofit management at the undergraduate and graduate level. \nNicki has practical experience as a grant writer and program director managing grant awarded projects which allows her to prepare proposals and training with a sensitivity to the needs of an organization’s staff to manage\, implement\, assess and report on grant activities after the award is made.

SUMMARY:November Members ONLY Call
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is hosted by the WVNPA \nNovember 18th – 2 – 3 PM \nRegistration Fees: FREE \nEmail for Registration link\nCharity Bridge Fund\, a new nonpartisan initiative from JustGive.org\, has launched to help close the gap caused by reduced federal funding.

There are no platform fees—only standard processing fees. \nCharity Bridge Fund helps nonprofits by: \n\nListing them in a centralized database of charities impacted by funding loss\nGaining increased visibility with individual donors\, foundations\, and donor-advised fund holders\nSharing organizations’ impact stories to inspire targeted support\nProviding direct access to matching funds
