2012 WEBINAR SERIES
HERE COME THE FEDS
Gaining Insight on Upcoming Federal Grant Opportunities
Given the short window of time between a typical federal grant announcement and its due date, gaining early insight into upcoming funding opportunities is a critical step in the planning process for agencies seeking federal funds. This two-part webinar series is timed to coincide with the period from January to May, when the federal government rolls out most of its health and human services Requests for Proposals (RFPs).In addition to reviewing the basic criteria for each highlighted grant, NEN Fund Development Specialist Sharon Vardatira will help participants assess whether the opportunity is a good fit for their organization and what types of programs might be most likely to receive an award.
These webinars are designed to profile newly announced federal grants of interest to nonprofits that serve children, youth, families and communities. Each of these webinars will focus on different RFPs announced around the webinar dates. Participation in both webinars will enable you to gain insight on several federal RFPs and their fit for your organization.
