What assets does an organization need to have to be considered federal grant ready? 👉 An annual budget divided into major program areas 👉 A Needs Statement aligning services to evidence of community need 👉 A board governance structure and decision-making process that is clearly defined and consistently employed 👉 A strategic plan that outlines desired outcomes and the steps to be taken to achieve them 👉 Robust monitoring and evaluation plan to track program effectiveness By integrating these attributes into practices, nonprofits can enhance competitiveness and success in securing grants, while also improving efficiency in delivering long-term impact.

The nonprofit sector suffers higher employee turnover rates than any other sector. Surveys cite the number one reason is the absence of opportunities for upward mobility- making a compelling case for nonprofits to make talent development part of their day-to-day work. This workshop reveals how nurturing the skills of internal, up-and-coming leaders can be a solution to the employee retention challenge that many nonprofits face.

Nonprofits in every community across the nation play a vital role in creating economic opportunities, building more inclusive communities, and improving quality of life. Southern Nevada's nonprofit sector delivers these results despite having fewer human and financial resources than similar regions. Especially as COVID relief dollars come to an end, how can nonprofits plan ahead, create continuity of service, and secure more resources to sustain and grow their impact? GrantLab's Founder and President, Miles Dickson, discusses with Amber Dixon (Vegas PBS #NevadaWeek), Nevada State Treasurer Zachary Conine, and Fuilala Riley of HELP of Southern Nevada. Thank you for having this important conversation with us! https://lnkd.in/gdN5yqN6
