The State of Grantseeking™ Reports spotlight recent developments in funding so your organization can be more strategic in its grantseeking.

- Which grantmakers are more likely to fund my organization?
- How much time and staff should I devote to grantseeking?
- What is a reasonable level of funding to expect for my organization?
- Does my budget or mission focus affect my organization’s ability to be awarded grants?
- How can I use recent trends in grantseeking to my organization’s advantage?

This webinar will reflect just-published information on grants, grantseeking, and trends. It will assist you in planning for 2019 – 2020 and in managing the expectations of your stakeholders — board members, donors, and the community at large. It will serve as a valuable tool for organizations to review their grantseeking efforts, report on performance, and plan for the future.

Median award sizes by organizational budget and mission will be included — benchmarks you can really use to establish your own grantseeking goals.
