Join AFP Monterey Bay Chapter for a Webinar viewing discussing strategies for successful online grant applications. Free for AFP Members, $15 for Non-AFP members. Check in begins at 8:30am, webinar presentation begins at 9:00am, followed by a group discussion of the topics presented.
Online grant proposals are here to stay. They are frustrating, exasperating and daunting. Still, we often must present our case for support in 2,000 characters (- 350 words or less). Writing tight or to the point while getting the attention of the grant reviewer has never been more crucial. Although brevity is key, grant makers still want engaging narratives that state the issue or problem succinctly while providing evidence that your organization will achieve the proposed outcomes. Knowing what to say and how to say it in a short grant application is the focus of this session. The techniques discussed will help you craft successful paper and paperless proposal narratives.
Participants will:
- Learn techniques to present their case in as few words as possible.
- Identify key elements that will grab grant reviewers’ attention.
- Edit proposals for strong content

Advancing Philanthropy April 2019
|
The cover photo on this, our April 2019 issue, is exceedingly famous, although most of us do not recognize it. Imagine: The 3.2 million-year-old bone fossils carefully arranged here belonged to a female Australopithecus afarensis hominid living in what is modern-day Ethiopia. The celebrated anthropologists who found her named her "Lucy." But in her "home country" she is known as "Dinkinesh," or "you are marvelous."
Think about it. What wonders lie before our very eyes, in life and work, that we overlook, perhaps for the entirety of our days?
From brokenness we can make things whole. By concentrating each day on becoming more insightful professionals, we can give civilization a better chance at survival. But only if we are students for life.
