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.

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.
