Elevate Webinar: Introduction to the Grant Cycle 

​​For many nonprofits, grants are a critical piece of a larger fundraising strategy. But if your organization is new to grants, it can be difficult to figure out where to begin. 

In this 1 hour free webinar, we provide an introduction to the grant cycle, including key activities and which tasks to focus on when your capacity is limited. 

The one-hour webinar is divided into two parts. Part 1 provides a high-level overview of the grant cycle, as well as a discussion of the first step: Planning.
