Foundation Lead Erik Lo Forte walks through the entire grant application question by question. This was our second-most popular webinar of 2023, and we updated it for 2024 thanks to your requests! Whether you’re a Seeds of Hope vet or a grant-writing newbie, if you’re considering applying, this webinar is for you! In addition to the walkthrough, Erik provides practical tips and strategies to strengthen your application and answers dozens of questions live!
Planting Seeds of Hope
Our 100% digital application is, in a word, thorough. We ask for as much relevant info as possible so the story of your project can shine! To those not as familiar with grant writing as others, it can be a daunting process. Even folks with plenty of experience in applying for funding can benefit from tips for getting noticed!
One of Erik’s pieces of advice: “Assume all the questions in an application are being asked for a reason.” He cautions against leaving a section blank or typing “see the previous answer”. Over the past year, we have used the feedback from past applicants to improve the Seeds of Hope grant application
Our Seeds of Hope application walk-through webinar guides you along our application so you put your best foot forward. If you’re “not there” yet, but want to peek at the application for future projects, jump in! Maybe you’re ready to click submit but want to ensure you answered everything correctly. It’s down to the wire, but there is still time to apply; fill out your application alongside the step-by-step guide!
