focus on building long-term relationships between an organization and
funders. While the successful receipt of a grant may seem like the
reward for navigating a lengthy, challenging process, in reality it is
just one more step in the ongoing cultivation of a grantmaker.
This concept is at the heart of the Center’s new guide, After the Grant: The Nonprofit’s Guide to Good Stewardship,
which explores the issues of developing a lasting grantmaker-grantee
partnership through proper grants management and communication
techniques. The guide contains chapters written by expert fundraisers
and foundation staff on managing the grant, meetings with funders,
composing the grant report, and other relevant topics. Also included
are case studies of actual grants and a “troubleshooting guide” with
advice from foundation executives on what to do in typical problem
situations.
This essential publication will be an invaluable and practical resource for every nonprofit seeking funding from foundations.
After the Grant is now available for purchase at our five main library/learning centers or from the Marketplace section of our web site.
