We invite you to join us in person or online this November for the highlight of the year for the grant industry!
Quad Cities Chamber of Commerce Business Brief: Grants, Not Just for Non-Profits Anymore
The federal government invests more than $500 billion annually of your tax dollars into projects that meet its objectives. Private funders invest another $97 billion annually into the economy.
While most people think of nonprofit organizations when they think of grant recipients, government entities and for-profit businesses – especially in manufacturing, construction, technology, and telecommunications – can also reap the benefits of these billions of dollars. These dollars are going to someone; why not you?
Virtual Wine Up Wednesday: Writing Grant Evaluations
ABOUT THE TOPIC:
More and more grant funders want data that demonstrates the value of your programs and their investment in it. Bring information about your programs and we will discuss ways to develop an evaluation plan that satisfies the funder without taking an inordinate amount of time to implement.

Virtual Coffee Break
Fundraising, development, and nonprofit work is lonely in the best of times, but even more so now that we have to practice social distancing, even more torturous for the extraverts in the group! I found that just seeing a face and talking to someone other than my family (who I love dearly, but really … 24/7?!) makes the day go a little faster and my mood brighter.
So in that vein, I decided to host a series of FREE virtual coffee breaks. No agenda, just a time to get together and talk about what’s on your mind. We can share fundraising tips, tips about surviving while we shelter-in-place, or just chit chat. So bring your favorite beverage and sign in at the allotted time and chat with others in your shoes. Kids and pets welcome!
Registration required. Once you register you will be emailed Zoom meeting details.
