SUMMARY:How to Use AI When Writing Grant Proposals
DESCRIPTION:This session is offered by GrantStation.\n\nWednesday\, August 23rd\, 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM ET\n\nRegistration Fees: $69 per person\, $159 per group of 2-10 people \nREGISTER NOW\n\n\nIf your organization is similar to other nonprofits\, a lack of time\, staff\, and resources is one of the greatest challenges you face when grantseeking. \nFortunately\, you now have access to hundreds of AI tools which can save you time. In fact\, these tools can potentially save you hours when writing your next proposal. \nHowever\, current AI tools cannot replace an effective proposal writer. Instead\, they can be used as a well-trained assistant\, which means you must understand their strengths and weaknesses in order to maximize their value. Otherwise\, you may end up wasting time by submitting a poorly written proposal. \nDuring this webinar\, Alice Ruhnke and David Gates will show you how to use AI tools effectively when writing proposals. We’ll be joined by Phillip Deng\, the CEO of Grantable\, and Mike Chamberlain\, the CEO of the Grant Professionals Association\, who will share their unique insights into AI best practices and considerations for nonprofits. \nYou’ll learn: \n\nhow AI actually works\, along with its strengths and weaknesses when it comes to proposal writing;\na 3-step process for effectively using an AI tool;\nwhat research you need to complete prior to using AI tools;\nhow AI tools can help you answer questions found in an RFP;\nthe editing steps you need to take before submitting a proposal that was written with the assistance of AI tools;\nmyths and misconceptions about AI; and\,\nother AI tools to consider beyond ChatGPT.\n\nThis session will explore the proposal writing process while using ChatGPT as an assistant so you walk away ready to test out AI tools within your own organization. However\, this is not a training on the best practices for ChatGPT. Specific skills related to ChatGPT (i.e. prompt engineering) are out of the scope of this webinar. \nThis session is perfect for any nonprofit staff member involved in the grantseeking process who is looking for ways to maximize the use of AI in their organization. \n\n\nFull participation in this webinar is applicable for 1.5 points in Category 1.B -Education of the CFRE International application for initial certification and/or recertification. \n  \n\n\nDate\nWednesday\, August 23\, 2023 – 2 PM EDT\n\n\nDuration\n90 Minutes\n\n\nQuestions? Call\n1-877-784-7268.\n\n\nPresenter:\n\n\nAlice Ruhnke is the President of GrantStation. Having raised over $45 million from federal\, state\, and private grantmakers\, she knows what it takes to get funded. As a former nonprofit program coordinator and director\, and the Founder of The Grant Advantage\, Alice has a deep understanding of the challenges that nonprofits face. Over the last 20 years she’s worked in the trenches with hundreds of nonprofit organizations to improve their capacity to raise funds. Alice is an author and educator with a passion to share her expertise. Her insightful trainings on grant proposal writing and development\, community change models\, service projects\, and measuring outcomes have helped over 4\,000 individuals positively impact their communities.

SUMMARY:Crafting a Process and Outcome Evaluation
DESCRIPTION:This session is offered by GrantStation.\n\nMonday\, August 28th\, 2:00 PM – 2:45 PM ET\n\nRegistration Fees: $39 per person\, $99 per group of 2-10 people \nREGISTER NOW\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen writing your proposals\, do you clearly demonstrate the impact of your work?\nProviding the number of classes held or participants served is useful information\, but it isn’t enough to satisfy most funders because funders want to know… “So what?” \nWhat difference will your program make? How will it change people’s lives? And how will you measure those changes? \nDuring this TargetED\, Alice Ruhnke will show you how to use outcomes and indicators so you can answer a funder’s “So what?” question confidently. \nYou’ll learn: \n\nwhat outcomes are and why they are an important piece of your proposal;\nhow to actually measure your outcomes using indicators;\nhow to create a process evaluation;\npros and cons of different measurement tools; and\,\nhow you can establish an evaluation process.\n\nYou’ll leave ready to craft a proposal that clearly shows the difference your program will make in the lives of those you serve. \nTargetEDs are designed with beginners in mind. This session contains 30 minutes of practical teaching and 15 minutes of Q&A with Alice. It’s perfect for any member of a nonprofit organization seeking to strengthen their proposal writing skills \n\n\nFull participation in this webinar is applicable for 1.5 points in Category 1.B -Education of the CFRE International application for initial certification and/or recertification. \n\n\nDate\nMonday\, August 28\, 2023 – 2 PM EDT\n\n\nDuration\n45 Minutes\n\n\nQuestions?
