You are responsible for identifying prospects, drafting and finalizing an LOI or proposal and subsequently, monitoring and facilitating county, state, and federal contracts and oh----along with corporate and foundation grants received. In other words, you are a super-human-grant-manager-who-can-take-on-the-world! You make sure that your Executive Director is happy and your Program Director's eyes glaze with bated funding anticipation. Or maybe you're all of the above?
Are you thinking to yourself, “Wait, I thought I was just supposed to write the grant?” Did you ever imagine that being a grant writer/manager would involve relationship building, understanding financial statements, building budgets and cost reporting as well as ensuring all goals, objectives and outcomes are being met?
So, how on earth can you play this critical role in an evolving grants/contracts management environment while keeping yourself sane?
Writing is the easy part!
Come join DER-GASP in the East Bay for an afternoon with the pro’s! They've seen it all and done it all and have lived to tell! You will gain valuable insights on how to successfully manage your grants department while juggling multiple priorities. Learn how to be strategic, organized and become a PRO! You'll get to hear the what to do and what NOT TO DO! This is your chance to ask your burning questions and know that you are not alone in the very competitive and hectic world of deadlines and grant writing!
