- Develop proposals
- Gather insights into what funders are looking for
- Get collaboration and buy-in

You’ll complete the session with a greater understanding of the dos and don’ts of applying for funds, of what triggers funders’ interest, and of how to develop winning projects that add value to your practice and have a positive impact on others.
