download Recently, I attended a wonderful conference in beautiful New England. It was just what I needed! Do you need some kind of refresher course or need to update your credentials to put your best foot forward in presenting your nonprofit to potential grant funders? You know, if you open your mind and really do leave that “I already know that” attitude outside the door, you stand to gain knowledge and insight that will take you to the next level of grant funding that you’re looking for.

One of the six essential steps in getting your nonprofit Grant Ready means that you need to Represent You and Your Nonprofit Well. What exactly does this entail? Well, it means that you need to work continually to improve your performance. Just as I sacrificed time and money to attend my conference in New England, what I gained in returned was tenfold. Think about it:

Is there a special staff accreditation or qualification that would resonate with potential grant funders?
Do you regularly evaluate staff performance to stay on the right track for success?
Are you regularly participating in educational conferences/seminars to stay abreast of the latest news and trends?

The bottom line is to invest in yourself and your staff first and your nonprofit will be all the better for it. A renewed sense of pride shows in successful grant applications. See what a refresher can do for you! Start today with a simple step - download my "60 Insider Secrets" to give you a seasoned grant writer's perspective on how to write winning grants. The best part? It's free - as well as easy! Hope to hear from you soon.

Good advice. I also suggest that you take a look at your Board or Board of Advisors. Do they lend credibility to your work as well.
P.S. New England in the fall is a great place to be. Hope you got outside.

This a excellent advice! And it holds true for individual donors as well as grant funders. A well-trained, professional staff builds confidence in the QUALITY of your mission... and that brings in money.

I think so many nonprofits neglect their infrastructure in favor of their programs. I want to see a nonprofit that's well-run. Thanks for prodding us to look inside first and get the basics in order!

No matter how far along I get in my career, I always welcome new (or even sometimes refreshed) perspectives. Invest in yourself is great advice. Thanks for sharing.
