CONNECT Cohort

Thank you to everyone who joined our Feb. 13 CONNECT Lunch & Learn with Judith and Kevin Kunst of TRQ Solutions. Grant writing can feel like a daunting task, but our expert presenters broke it down into clear, actionable steps to help schools and nonprofits navigate the process with confidence.

Key takeaways included:
✅ Understanding grant eligibility and gathering the right materials
✅ Finding the best funding opportunities—starting close to home
✅ Crafting a compelling proposal that aligns with a funder’s mission
✅ Leveraging data and external credibility to strengthen applications
✅ Building a long-term grant-seeking strategy

For those who couldn’t attend, we’ve linked two valuable resources shared during the session:
📌 Candid Foundation Directory – Find and research grant opportunities: https://bit.ly/4hujNDj
📌 County Health Rankings & Roadmaps – Use data to support your grant applications: https://bit.ly/4hBXkEj

Thanks again for joining us - we hope to see you all in person at the Annual Conference in just a few weeks!
