Changing Vision to Implementation:
Using Appreciative Inquiry to Define your Nonprofit, Part 4 (of 4)

24 May, 2010

What's the most difficult part of any planning process? It's that final step, the one where you will be determining the implementation strategy. When it comes to asking, "Where are we going next? What should our next projects be?" things just aren't as clear as they might have been when you were planning.  Let's face it - it's always easier to look backward than to look forward.

Resource

Grantstation

Grantstation always has the most up-to-date resources for funding. If you are looking for grants, this is the place to go. Their database is maintained on a daily basis, unlike those of many other organizations who rely on the last form 990 filed with the IRS (information that is already well over a year out of date.) Their easy-to-use website is a fantastic tool for grantseekers, grantwriters, and anyone looking to see what funding is out there. I use it all the time for my own research. You need to join to really get into it (but you can look for sales on Tech Soup!) Great newsletter, webinars, and excellent tutorials on the grantseeking process, useful for grantseekers at any level.
