September Live Webinar 
Cultivating Relationships with Foundations: Thursday, September 25, 12PM EST 
Unlike most federal grantmakers, foundations can be mysterious and opaque – from the guidelines they publish to the decision making process. For these reasons, cultivating relationships, and nurturing those relationships with foundation funders is paramount. In this session, we'll cover strategies and engagement practices to successfully develop partnerships with foundation funders.

On-Demand Suggestions for September 

  • Artificial Intelligence Policies Among Federal Grantmakers: The use of artificial intelligence in grant proposals is shaking up the federal grantseeking landscape. Many federal funders have issued policies to guide or restrict AI use in proposals. This session will review these policies to help faculty comply with new AI usage guidelines. 
  • What Deadline?! Keeping Yourself & Others On-Task in Grant Development: Nobody likes the last-minute rush to finish a project. While not all funders allow time for proposal development, effective planning can strengthen grant applications. This session from Hanover offers best practices for managing the various phases of grant development and keeping your team focused on key project milestones.
