Introduction to Finding Grants

Presented by Candid (Formerly the Foundation Center)

Join Candid's Programs Manager, Tracy Kaufman, for this free virtual workshop on using Candid's databases for grantseeking. Registration required for zoom link.

Are you new to the field of grantseeking?  Discover what funders are looking for in nonprofits seeking grants and how to find potential funders in this introductory course.  You will learn the 10 most important things you need to know about finding grants, including:

• Who funds nonprofits and what are their motivations.
• What do funders really want to know about the organizations they are interested in funding.
• How do you identify potential funders and make the first approach.

The Alexandria Library offers free on-site access to Candid databases: Foundation Directory Online (relevant to this workshop) and Grants to Individuals.  There is limited remote access through a 24-hour day pass per month.

Note: This orientation is not intended for individuals seeking grants for their own use. Please refer to our Knowledge Base articles for Individual Grantseekers.

Intended audience:  Fundraising & development staff, Grant writers
