Looking for free money for your startup? Grants are undoubtedly the BEST match for this type of funding. Grants are debt-free funds to help you bring your idea, project, or company to life. Grants can support critical recovery initiatives, innovative research, the arts, new and exciting business territory and more. They can be distributed from government entities, private companies or individuals, academic institutions, and even non-profit organizations. But how can do you secure this highly competitive and elusive “grant” funding, even if you’re in the early stages of your business? Join IFundWomen Startup Coach and experienced grant writer, Virginia Almendarez, to demystify the grant landscape. In this workshop, you will learn how to find the right grant for your business, how to hack the application process so grant writing is easier, and how to write a winning grant application!
Demystify the who, what, when, and where of grants to understand the broader private and public grant landscape and the broad range of grants that are available.
We'll share our tools, resources, and websites for finding the best grant for your business whether you're early stage, post-product, non-profit, for-profit, research-based or otherwise!
Learn how to write a strong grant application from the pitch to supporting documents and learn how to identify and match your application to the outlined grant criteria.
Explore common terms and conditions that may accompany a grant after you've won it and make sure you're equipped to meet those terms.
