How to Win Grants from Private Foundation Donors

Many nonprofits focus their grant seeking on the wealthiest foundations, ignoring the 84,000 family and small foundations that are each worth $50-million or less.But small foundations often make decisions more quickly, make grants in lump sums rather than multiple payments, and offer easier application processes. What's more, the competition for their support is a lot less stiff.Last year, giving among these foundations was up 18.3% according to Foundation Source, and you’ll hear directly from Page Snow, Chief Philanthropic and Marketing Officer, who will share key findings from the firm’s proprietary research as well as its annual survey of its foundation clients. Ms. Snow will reveal insights into the preferences of small foundation grant makers and the implications for grant seekers.  She’ll recommend strategies for finding small foundations that align with your organization’s cause and tips for approaching them for the first time.
