About the Event

Whether you’re running a nonprofit or for-profit business, being grant ready
is the key to unlocking capital, fueling your vision, and sustaining your
mission.

Join us for a hands-on workshop designed to walk you through what
it takes to get funded in Illinois—with a special focus on opportunities in
historically underinvested neighborhoods.

 

You’ll learn:
 ♦What it really means to be “grant ready”
 ♦The documents and systems funders expect you to have in place
 ♦How to write a compelling project summary
 ♦How to align with city, state, and philanthropic priorities
 ♦What makes a strong grant application (and what gets you ignored)

Who Should Attend:
♦Nonprofit leaders
♦Small business owners
♦Social entrepreneurs
♦Real estate developers
♦Community organizations
