      <title>GrantStation&#39;s TargetED Series: Grants Under Pressure — Thriving in a Tougher Funding Landscape. by Daniel Auer</title>
      <link>https://padlet.com/ANCAmembership/tnlmk74mlwxi9gnj</link>
      <description>With government funding sources shrinking, private grant competition rising, and demand for nonprofit services surging, it&#39;s critical to write grant proposals that are strategic, data-driven, and deeply aligned with funders’ evolving expectations. This beginner-friendly webinar series provides actionable tools, frameworks, and language to help your organization stand out and secure funding in today’s high-pressure environment.

Over six sessions, GrantStation President Alice Ruhnke will guide you through the entire grant proposal process. The series will offer an approach to proposal writing that can be used repeatedly and will help you secure grants more often. </description>
