Webinars

Grants Plus has been called upon by community foundations, nonprofit associations, major chapter-based organizations and other institutions to design and deliver informative, interactive webinars. We will work with you to create a stand-alone webinar or a full series that teaches new skills, shares information, and moves to action.

"Thank you for a wonderful webinar. We have gotten very good feedback. We look forward to working with you again in the future and are so grateful for your quick turnaround on this helpful webinar!"

Boards of Directors

Board volunteers can become fundraising champions by better understanding the realities of nonprofit grant seeking and how they can contribute to new grant victories.

"Thank you so much for your presentation! It was excellent. Many of our volunteers do not know what goes into working with foundations. You opened their eyes. I loved it when our two board volunteers offered that they have contacts in their communities! We are already talking about ways we can connect with them moving forward."
