Map and Directions

  • Our focus is to provide local non-profit leaders, program managers and volunteers an opportunity to meet leaders from a range of funding organizations that fund programs in North Idaho.
  • This fast paced event will include inside information from foundation presidents and development officers that will help you write the most effective grant proposals for your programs.
  • This is a fantastic chance to meet funders face to face and gain an understanding of their funding criteria and priorities. Funders will give you the most up to date information on what THEY are looking for in a proposal and what kind of projects they want to fund.
  • The afternoon will also include a speed networking and casual conversation format for more one on one relationship building with the funders.
