March 2026 Monthly Chapter Meeting

Researching and Winning Grants (Virtual Meeting)

• Are grants worth all the effort? 

Focus Area – The Research Piece 
• Why grants are so powerful when done strategically
• How to find, assess, and qualify the right funders
• How to avoid wasting time on low-fit opportunities
• 9 key questions you can use to decide if a funder is right for you – in under 5 minutes

Successful fundraising extends far beyond submitting a grant application—it begins with thoughtful prospect research, continues through strategic cultivation and relationship-building, and carries through to high‑quality proposal development, timely reporting, and consistent stewardship. When organizations embrace the entire cycle, they not only increase their chances of securing funding, but also strengthen partnerships with funders and deepen their organizational credibility.

Join us as we hear from Sarah Stavig, Grant Specialist at Instrumentl, the grant platform helping thousands of organizations discover, track and manage grant funding more efficiently. 

Zoom link will be sent to registrants the day before the meeting.
