It's fundraising time again... are you ready? No matter what type
of group you are with, the last half of the year can be the busiest.
This is the time for your end of year donation campaigns, classes
or activities and it can be a mad rush to the finish line of December
31st!
This year Step by Step Fundraising has several programs coming
up to help you with your year-end fundraising. This week I posted
a list of 20 free resources to help you with year end grant applications
(see below). But the big announcement is a grant program actually
sponsored by our school focused site, Top School Fundraisers. We'll
also be hosting several other programs for other charities in the
next few months, so stay tuned!

20 Free Grant Writing Resources for Non-Profits
by Sandra Sims
I
started out just looking for a basic grant writing 101 guide and
was surprised to find so many resources available for free, even
classes and full text books.
Even if you eventually hire a consultant or purchase training material,
these resources will provide a good introduction to the basic terminology
and concepts of grant funding. I’m sure there’s plenty of tips for
experienced grant seekers too!
