FAQs
Q: With today's tight economic picture, competition has dramatically increased for
philanthropic dollars. Do you know how make your grant stand out in a crowd?
A: Keep up-to-date with up-to-the-minute information. The successful fund developer will be busy at work researching
ways to expand their funding base and solidly matching funder's interests with their organization. Start with basic sites
like The Foundation Center or The Chronicle of Philanthropy. Educate yourself about foundations in your region and stay abreast
of trends in giving. Be aware of the national, state and local economic situations and forecasts to be able to plan ahead
and anticipate your next move in the fund development arena.

are taking shape in program design?
A: There are several "buzz" words floating around in the RFPs
these days. All funding sources are requiring the following elements to a successful program design/proposal:
Mandated Outcomes, Research-Based Programming, Collaborative Efforts, and Evaluation is Essential. If you want your program
to be competitive for dollars, all must be reflected in its design and corresponding grant.
