Visit the Grant Center at the PMDMC Conference in July 2012
Are you attending the 2012 Public Media Development and Marketing Conference (PMDMC) in Seattle? Meegan White and Amie Miller will be there and would love to see you. In fact, the Grant Center is hosting two valuable sessions on successful grantseeking practices, filled with best practices, tips and tricks of the trade. Be sure to check them out.
Getting to Yes (and Beyond): Grantseeking Case Studies
Date and time to be announced
Join our station panel for a travelogue of their journeys from prospect research to grant completion, with stops along the way for letters of inquiry, meetings with program officers, proposal writing, grant documents, ongoing communication and formal reporting. Participants will learn about both strategies and tactics in play as our panelists successfully secured and completed grants from federal agencies and private foundations.
When You're Not the 800-Pound Gorilla: Grantseeking and the Smaller Station
Hosted by the Grant Center, a partnership between DEI and the Association of Public Television Stations (APTS)
Date and time to be announced
Raising support from foundations for smaller stations (and stations that are not the dominant one in their market) can be challenging. How can smaller stations -- especially non-news stations -- position themselves to make a case to foundations? How do smaller shops manage the grantseeking process with limited staff? We'll hear from stations that are making it work, despite the challenges.
