Panel discussion and dialogue with Private Foundation Grantmakers


As the grant seeking process becomes more and more competitive, it is  essential to understand what grantmakers are actually looking for when they decide whether or not to award a grant. This session offers an unusual opportunity to hear directly from a variety of community, private and family foundation funders. Grantmakers from a variety of private, community and family foundations will participate in a panel discussion. Issues we will explore with the panelists include:
  • Foundation culture: what kinds of projects do grantmakers like to fund?
  • Winning proposals: what makes them stand out?
  • Foundation guidelines: are they set in stone?
  • Building the relationship: what gives foundations confidence in the organizations they fund?
Whether you have been securing grants for decades or are just starting out, the panel discussion will provide you with a valuable view of the grantmaking world from the point of view of the grantmaker.
