Today’s grant writers need to creatively develop proposals that leverage partnerships to engage funders while meeting goals. Who are your unique partners, and what do they bring to the table that will help you increase your funding opportunities? In this session, we will look at ways to create grant-related partnerships. The purpose of this presentation is to enable participants to look at ways to leverage unique grant-related partnerships to increase funding success rates with private foundations and funders. The presenter will walk participants through their process of developing unique grant-related partnerships between higher education, local community groups and non-profits, corporations and even local government. The presenter will showcase real examples of partnerships that have enabled their institution to expand student impact and increase success.
