Planning for Sustainability, Diversifying Funding, and Writing Complex Grants

Victim serving organizations often struggle with fluctuating funding sources and levels of support.

The first session will explore two critical domains of sustainability planning—effective resource and partnership development—and will help participants apply strategies that build strong support for their programs, potentially leading to new funding opportunities. Participants will begin to create a diversified funding plan framework, which will include new approaches for expanding a potential donor/funder pool.

The second session will explore the essential ingredients of complex grant applications: compelling statements of need, detailed budget justifications aligned with project goals and objectives, and quality outcome measures. Implementing these plans and using these tools will improve the odds of success in finding strategic and sustainable funding.

The “Planning for Sustainability, Diversifying Funding, and Writing Complex Grants” webinars are part of the new Vital Subjects series. This series will address topics that are critical to the victim services field across the country.
