Grant Workshop: Demystifying Philanthropy with The Unfunded List
Grant Workshop: Demystifying Philanthropy with Unfunded List
with Dave Moss, Founder, and Board Chair Margaret Chapman from The Unfunded List
Thursday, August 20, 1:00–2:00 pm (MT), Virtual Workshop
Join Dave Moss, Founder of Unfunded List, and Board Chair Margaret Chapman for a session dedicated to helping arts organizations navigate the complexities of grantmaking. This workshop is specifically designed for grantseeking nonprofit arts organizations—from large professional venues to small, volunteer-run rural presenters—as well as artist groups operating as 501(c)(3)s, such as theater and dance companies.
Since 2015, Unfunded List has worked to unlock the value of "unfunded" proposals by providing independent, expert reviews that help organizations improve their storytelling and fundraising success. Participants in their programs often discover new opportunities, with 90% of reviewed groups raising significantly more funds within five years.
In this interactive session, Dave and Margaret will:
Provide an overview of the philanthropic landscape and the Unfunded List evaluation process.
Share actionable insights and takeaways specifically garnered for grantseekers in the arts.
Discuss how to use candid, expert feedback to turn past proposals into successful future applications.
Anyone seeking funding for the arts is encouraged to attend. Both seasoned fundraisers and smaller nonprofits looking for better support and education are welcome.
