GPA National Conference

A mission-centered budget provides an honest, complete, clear picture of the total value of everything it takes to do the proposed work successfully. But what does that mean? And how do we get there?

Agile leadership in nonprofits focuses on empowering nonprofit professionals, regardless of their title, to embrace the role they can play as a leader within their teams (especially grant teams!).

Presenters will discuss growth strategies; profitability; building a team and culture; managing a slate of clients, projects, and writers; office/virtual set-up; and lessons learned along the way.

Attendees will learn how to create a successful annual grants strategy, going in-depth into the process of finding, vetting, and managing grants using a tool called the Master Grants Planner.
