GRANT-SEEKING WEBINAR Securing Large Grants: Strategies That Work Thursday, June 12, 2025 2:00 - 3:15 PM ET
In an increasingly competitive landscape — and with federal funding drying up — six-figure foundation grants can make the difference between scaling your mission and scaling back.
Big grants aren’t just awarded to great writers. They go to nonprofits that position themselves strategically, build trust with funders, and communicate a vision worth investing in.
Avoid common mistakes that keep proposals from standing out
Build long-term relationships with funders who offer multi-year support
You’ll hear from two seasoned experts who’ve helped nonprofits across the country secure transformational funding:
Susan Schaefer, Principal, Resource Partners: Susan is a consultant, speaker, and author who helps nonprofits secure major private grants. She’s taught fund development at Johns Hopkins and writes the Major Grants newsletter on Substack.
Mindi Jacobson, Executive Director and Co-Founder, Future Link: Mindi leads Future Link, a Maryland nonprofit that’s doubled both its budget and impact under her leadership. With 20 years in nonprofit management, she brings deep expertise in grant writing, program development, and capacity building.
