Meet the Funders, held in partnership with ADO
Join us for this special event presented in partnership with Association of Development Officers (ADO). Meet the Funders features a panel of foundation and corporate program officers to learn how you can strengthen your applications and your relationships with funders. Meet the Funders is your chance to hear directly from the people who read the grants we submit.
Panelists will share how to make proposals stand out, their thoughts about AI, and shifts in government funding, pet peeves and more. After the moderator engages with panelists, there will time for general audience questions. You are welcome to submit questions ahead of time to: info.GPLH@gmail.com
