Charities and nonprofits have needed to get creative with their fundraising in order to meet the increased demand for services amid decreased capacity. As we head into more uncertainty with rising inflation, a looming recession, and the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, diversifying your revenue sources is one of the most important things you can do to ensure a sustainable future for your organization.
Join Chaerin Kwon (she/her/elle), Manager of Social Enterprise and Membership Development from Imagine Canada to learn more about how the grant landscape has changed and how one-way nonprofits and charities can deal with these changes is to use Grant Connect for prospect research. Grant Connect is Imagine Canada’s fundraising prospect research tool geared towards Canada-based charities and nonprofits.
Referring to the 8 Shifts in the Grants Landscape that Fundraisers Need to Know About blog post by the Grant Connect team, Chaerin Kwon will discuss important fundraising shifts from the past year that will help you consider potential new types of funding you could be interested in. She will also share best practices in fundraising identification and qualification to help you find the best match for your organization using data, insights, and technology.
