Instructor: Suzanne Alden, MSA, CFRE, Grant Expectations
Registration Deadline: May 11, 2012
Learn the art of grantwriting to raise money for your cause! With increased competition for grant resources in a down economy, it is vital that grantwriters prepare proposals that are both polished and compelling. In this introduction to grant research and writing, those with little to no grantwriting experience will be taken through the proposal process from start to finish. Participants will learn the steps for researching government and private grant sources, connecting with potential grant funders, developing a “pitch” and message, writing about the project, gathering supplemental materials for grant applications, and developing a program budget. The day-long seminar will provide opportunities for hands-on practice with exercises in an interactive setting. This class will lay the foundation for successful grantwriting – and increased confidence – with a better understanding of the grant process.

Application Deadline: October 29, 2010
The Commonwealth Partnership for Economic Opportunity (CPEO) is a joint effort of the Commonwealth Corporation and the Commonwealth Workforce Coalition/CEDAC (CWC). The project works to address Massachusetts’ critical need to build the capacity of a range of community and faith-based organizations to coordinate workforce development programs and resources for support services. The goal is to provide low-income adults and youth who are not engaged in school or work with the tools and resources they need to be able to compete for jobs in a knowledge-based economy.
A component of this project is to provide 12-15 hours of free individualized technical assistance to 12-15 community and faith-based organizations located in target communities who provide workforce and employment services to community residents. Consultants with expertise in workforce and employment service delivery will be matched to organizations based on a completed needs assessment and interview. The consultants will be available to assist selected organizations between January 1, 2011 and April 30, 2011.

building more effective business models through collaboration. While meeting the
collaboration needs of Boston area nonprofits, the Catalyst Fund will also build a
template for a more robust, accessible merger and collaboration practice in the
nonprofit sector that is replicable regionally and scalable nationally.

This fall, the Massachusetts Nonprofit Network and Associated Grant Makers are once again partnering to host a second annual joint statewide nonprofit conference. Nonprofit Innovation: Doing things Differently – Doing Different Things will bring together nonprofit organizations as well as consultants and foundations to bolster their knowledge of effective practices thus strengthening their ability to carry out their mission and work.
Innovation has been, and will continue to be, an omnipresent theme for nonprofits throughout the Commonwealth. In these times, a creative lens is paramount to organizational sustainability and significant change. In 2010, the symposium comprises 24 workshops chosen from over 70 proposals that exemplify both “Innovation” (cutting edge, new thinking) and “What Works” (best practices that have been tried across several situations and organizations). This year, a minimum of 650 individuals are expected to attend and take part in this exciting opportunity.
