October 21 | 12:00–1:00 PM ET | Virtual via Zoom
Strong grant writing starts well before the proposal. It begins with understanding the community you are trying to serve, the problem you are trying to solve, and the change your program is designed to create. In this webinar, we will explore how measurable outcomes and clear metrics can help you build a strong impact story and make a compelling case for funding.
Join Jenn Katona of 3 Looms for a practical Lunch & Learn designed to help artists and arts organizations think more strategically about their grant work.
You’ll leave with:
- A clearer way to think about the purpose and goals of your programs
- A framework for connecting your work to a compelling case for support
- Strategies for articulating outcomes and impact
- Practical ways to strengthen your grant strategy before you begin writing
