What You'll Learn

Busting Grant Myths & Building the Right Foundation

We'll start by clearing up the most common misconceptions about grants — including why you don't need to be a great writer to earn them. From there, you'll get a solid Grants 101 foundation: what grants are, how they work, and the mindset that sets successful grant seekers apart.
Understanding the Grant Landscape

Not all grants are created equal. You'll learn about the types of grants available to community cat organizations — including program, project, and capacity building grants — and get a clear picture of who funds them, from corporate funders and national nonprofits to local community foundations.
From Research to Application

You'll walk away knowing exactly how to find and vet grant opportunities so you're not wasting time on poor fits, how to build a strategic grant pipeline, and how to navigate the full application process from nonprofit readiness all the way through submission — plus actionable tips to help you get started or get back on track.
