Fundraising Friday: Know Your Grantonyms

As grantmakers, state and federal agencies speak a language all their own. If acronyms such as COI, LOI, EOI, RFI, RFP, RFQ, and RFR make your head spin, this is your chance to learn how to crack the code!

Join us and our guest Karen Pelto, a Recovery Grant Specialist from the Berkshire Funding Focus Initiative, to become more fluent in "Bureaucrat." With a better understanding of key acronyms and terms, you will find it easier to search for grants, understand solicitation documents, prepare effective applications, and manage your grant award.

Fundraising Fridays are monthly hour-long “coffee talks” facilitated by thought leaders from the social sector. These discussion groups, held at 9:00 am the first Friday of each month, are free and open to any and all nonprofit professionals and volunteers interested in fundraising and development issues (EDs, DDs, development staff, volunteer leaders, consultants, etc.). Participants will come away with a greater understanding of the topic at hand and connections to nonprofit peers who share similar interests and concerns.
