    Each year, New York State’s Consolidated Funding Application (CFA) provides multiple opportunities for state grant funding for capital projects, land acquisition, marketing, housing, town revitalization, canals, health and human services, environmental conservation, and capacity building

    Although only one application is submitted, funding from a variety of state agencies including Empire State Development and Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation, can be accessed with this one application. The application can be daunting, but we’re here to provide some tips that will help make it more manageable.

    While this webinar will not cover the online application process, it will:

    • Provide advice about answering questions
    • Identify resources for research
    • Give tips on making the case for economic impact, a statewide priority for funding

    Join CFA grant writing expert Susan A. Mathisen for a few tips that can help you win CFA funds.

     

    SPEAKERS:

    Susan Mathisen: President, SAM Fundraising Solutions: Susan has had an extensive museum career. As a textile conservator, she worked at the Smithsonian Institution and the National Gallery of Art. She learned fundraising and grantwriting during her tenure asAdministrative Conservator at the Conservation Center, NYU’s art conservation training program. She has also held grants positions at the American Museum in Britain, Meet the Composer, and the American Academy in Rome.

    In 2007, she founded SAM Fundraising Solutions, a consultancy specializing in fundraising for art conservation and historic preservation. Her clients range from major arts institutions to grassroots groups. She has served on several boards, is currently the Vice President of GPLH, and is a member of the Metropolitan Museum’s Textile Conservation Lab Visiting Committee.
