Beyond the Grant: Building Partnerships and Sustainable Nonprofit Income.
About this Event
Government grants are becoming increasingly uncertain, making it more important than ever for nonprofits to build strong relationships and develop diverse sources of income.
Join Social Ground Foundation for Beyond the Grant, an engaging conversation with Bob Nunez about forming meaningful partnerships, expanding your network, and creating opportunities beyond traditional grant funding.
We’ll explore how nonprofits can identify the right partners, communicate the value of their work, and begin conversations that lead to financial support and long-term collaboration. Bob will also discuss why networking does not need to feel transactional—and how simply talking with people can lead to more support than you might ever imagine.
Nonprofits need income to fulfill their missions. This conversation will help attendees think more confidently and creatively about generating that income while staying true to their purpose.
The event will include a facilitated interview with Bob, audience questions, and time to connect with other nonprofit and community leaders.
