Maryn Boess
National Nonprofit Trainer & Consultant, Founder
GrantsUSA

A federal program officer was speaking for many 21st-century grantmakers when he said a few years ago: “Whether we require a partnership proposal or not, the truth is, if your proposal ain’t collaborative, it ain’t gonna be competitive!”

Thinking and working collaboratively “pays” in many ways for your grantseeking organization. But creating and sustaining meaningful partnership doesn’t get any less challenging when there’s a grant proposal at stake. In this thought-provoking, down-to-reality session, we’ll take a close look at what “collaboration” means in the community—and how you can make it work for you. We’ll explore the issues, challenges, and benefits of thinking collaboratively in the community and learn the down-to-earth realities of pulling together a high-quality collaborative grant proposal. Topics covered include:

  • “Cooperation” to “collaboration”: the partnership continuum
  • The four essential stages in the life cycle of a collaboration—what to expect and how to manage each
  • Five major steps to developing a collaborative grant proposal
  • Partnership protocols and issues

For this session, you’ll be introduced to GrantsUSA’s powerful Community Collaboration Starter Kit process, a simple but powerful technique for quickly bringing diverse organizations and interests together around a common need or issue—in time to meet your proposal deadline.

The series will show you a new, powerful way to think about your role in the grants field; new, powerful strategies for organizing and managing a successful grants effort; and new, powerful tools for winning corporation, foundation, and government dollars to support your organization’s work.
