Grant proposals are an important part of the quiet phase of capital campaigns, but if you aren’t experienced in writing for a capital campaign, there are a lot of questions you may want to ask an experienced grant professional:
- How do you decide which funders to approach and when?
- Should you cannibalize your current funders?
- How do you write outcomes for capital campaigns?
- Do you write about raising the money, the building of the building, or the programs that are happening in the building? Is the answer all three?
What You’ll Learn:
- How grants fit in with the overall capital campaign pyramid and timeline.
- How to strategize which funders to approach, and when in the campaign is the best time to approach them.
- How to build a case statement that evolves over time as the groundbreaking draws near.
- How to describe capital expenditures as budget details goes from scarce to detailed.
- How to answer questions about the capital campaign, construction, and program outcomes.
- What contractual services are the most commonly available to support the grant portion of capital campaigns.
