FOUNDATIONS 101: A Workshop on Finding the Right Funder for Your Work

[This session is sponsored by Institutional Advancement, the CAHSS Dean's Office, and CARAT.]

Foundations gave more than $117 billion last year, but most of that money goes to applicants who were a good fit before they ever wrote a proposal. If you’ve thought about foundation funding and weren’t sure where to start, or sent inquiries that went nowhere, this workshop is for you. If you already have foundation experience, you’ll get a sharper way to vet prospects and a clear picture of how UMBC handles these opportunities.

In this session, you’ll learn how foundations decide what to fund and how to find the ones whose goals match your work. You’ll also learn how to explain a project so that someone outside your field wants to hear more. We’ll cover how to reach a funder the right way, and which UMBC offices can help you at each step. 

When: November 18th from 12-1

Where: Dresher Center Conference Room, PAHB 216
