Develop your fundraising skills and learn how to craft a winning foundation proposal. 2008 San Francisco Bay Area Nonprofit Boot Campers were invited to apply for a “Reality Grantmaking” mini-grant. Applicants were screened by the session moderators to ensure diversity of causes and proposal styles and finalists were selected. Proposals were reviewed and scored by an expert panel of real-world funders. The top three finishers were awarded cash grants ($250, $500, $1,000). Grant proposals from the finalists are at http://www.craigslistfoundation.org/bco/sf08/sf08realitygrantmaking.pdf Podcast edited by Stace Carter. Comments[0] |
