Knowing that many small to medium-sized nonprofits have limited access to grant writing support and work on finding grants and writing proposals in-house, taking time away from executing programs, CNE, in partnership with Obici Healthcare Foundation, is pleased to offer grant writing support and connect you with a grant writing consultant who will:
- Meet with you (on your own time and schedule) to learn more about your organization, funding needs, and timing
- Review and provide feedback on one grant proposal to help strengthen your proposals to other funders
- Research and send three targeted grant opportunities once a quarter for one year
Thanks to the generous support of the Obici Healthcare Foundation, fees are subsidized, and participation is free.

What if your nonprofit could retain just 10% more than the industry average of recurring givers? Not only would this help you raise more funds and meet your fundraising goals, but it’s possible to do simply by focusing on online giving tools and best practices.
In this session, we’ll share lessons learned from our online giving study. We donated $25 to 300 organizations across the U.S. and tracked the giving experience and the thank you results. We’ll share actionable tips to improve your donation experience, landing page, receipting email, thank you process, and follow up activities. Spend less time worrying about your budget and more time on your mission!
If you require any accessibility accommodations, such as language interpreters, please contact staff@thecne.org.
