Webinar with Jesse Clarke
Government funding can be a game changing opportunity for Canadian charities and nonprofit organizations. But government grants can also be difficult to find, challenging to secure, and impossible to maintain. In this free webinar, Jesse Clarke - Founder & CEO of JN Clarke Consulting - will provide attendees with important tips and a comprehensive guide to federal government funding: how to find it, how to build your organization’s reputation with government, and how to prepare successful applications for funding.
Jesse will offer her top 5 tips for successful government engagement that can be adapted to organizations of any size. She will also share insights on how to decide whether to apply for a specific funding opportunity, how to create a winning application, and how to build a strong and sustainable relationship with government officials to ensure your organization’s long-term success. Join us for a value-packed webinar!
This webinar is presented in partnership with Keela and Imagine Canada's Grant Connect.
