Presenter: GrantStation
Cost: $69
In this session, veteran grantmaker Maryn Boess puts on her grantmaker hat and shares some straight talk about asking for, getting, and making sense of funder feedback.
GrantStation will start by building the bigger context for understanding funder feedback with a behind-the-scenes tour “Inside the Grantmakers Black Box” as your proposal makes its way through the review and decision-making process.
They’ll bust three big myths about how grants decisions are made. Sneak peek: “It’s a competitive process.” (It isn’t.) “It’s an objective process.” (It isn’t.) “An A+ proposal should beat a B- proposal, every time.” (Nope!)
They’ll talk about the three biggest mistakes people make when it comes to getting feedback on their proposals—and the lessons you can learn from them.
You’ll learn the RIGHT question to ask for feedback—in the RIGHT way—to get results you can use. And you’ll have lots of time to bring your own questions, challenges, and experiences into the conversation during our live Q&A.
