How to Conduct a Feasibility Study for Purposeful Program Design (Nonprofit Learning Lab)
There are so many ideas out there about how to solve problems facing our communities, but many of those ideas never get implemented or don’t get implemented in the right way. In this webinar, we will put pen to paper and go through the questions that need to be asked before you launch a program to meet community needs. We will cover how to identify the questions, collect data, engage stakeholders, and draw conclusions through a feasibility study.

Busting the Top 10 Grant Writing Myths (Nonprofit Hub)
As a nonprofit leader or a grant writer, you may hear things like, “Why don’t you write a grant for that?” or, “We’ve applied for grants, but nobody wants to give us any money.” Everyone seems to be winning grants except you. That leaves you feeling lost in the woods wondering, “If there’s so much grant money out there, why are we struggling to get any? What are we doing wrong?” In this interactive session, we’ll go through 10 common myths about grants and the facts you should know instead. You’ll be able to recognize and avoid these pitfalls and better prepare your nonprofit for the grant writing process.
