Module 2 - Sponsor and Grant Writing Overview
Fundraising is not just asking for donations. This is one aspect of nonprofit development, but the overall fundraising landscape is quite varied.
Nonprofits can fund their work with sponsorships, grants, individual giving, events, fee-for-service, and more. This is good news because having multiple streams of revenue protects nonprofits in cases where one fundraising source falls through.
Individual Donors make up 72% of charitable contributions. These gifts can be very small, very large, or in between, and they come in several varieties.
This module reviews PRIVATE DONORS, ONLINE GIVING, and EVENTS.

Module 4 - Letters of Inquiry and How to Write Them
This concise and compelling document serves as a preliminary step in the funding process, capturing the attention of the reader and generating interest in the nonprofit's mission.
The letter typically includes a brief overview of the organization's purpose, programs, and impact, emphasizing the alignment with the donor's funding priorities.
It highlights the specific funding needs, projects, or initiatives that require support and provides a compelling case for why the donor's investment can make a meaningful difference. A well-crafted letter of inquiry communicates the nonprofit's unique value proposition, showcases its track record of success, and invites further dialogue and partnership. It is an opportunity to spark the interest and enthusiasm of potential donors, ultimately opening doors to potential funding opportunities that can advance the nonprofit's mission and bring about positive change in the communities it serves.

Preparing a nonprofit grant requires careful planning and attention to detail. Review the grant guidelines and criteria to understand the specific requirements and expectations. Next, gather all necessary documentation, such as financial statements, program data, and supporting materials, to provide a comprehensive overview of your nonprofit's work and impact. Develop a compelling narrative that clearly articulates the problem your organization is addressing, the proposed solution, and the expected outcomes. Tailor your proposal to the interests and priorities of the grantmaker, demonstrating how your project aligns with their funding goals. Be sure to include a detailed budget.
