Connecting with Small Foundations: What to Know Now

Thursday, August 12 | 2:00 - 3:15 PM ET

Small family funds give away more than $4 billion a year to charities. But it can be difficult to find and connect with these grant makers who often keep a low profile and have little or no staff. Plus, some have adjusted their giving priorities due to the health, economic, and racial-justice crises.

Don’t miss tomorrow's webinar, Connecting with Small Foundations: What to Know Now, at 2 PM ET, to learn from our expert guests:

How the small-foundation landscape shifted over the past year and a half — and which changes are likely to continue
Ways to identify these grant makers, make initial contact, and deepen ties over time
How to share results and impact in grant proposals even if the pandemic weakened your nonprofit’s finances
