Meet the Funders

A special event presented in partnership with Grant Professionals of Lower Hudson (GPLH), Meet the Funders features a panel of foundation and corporate program officers who will tell us how to strengthen our grant applications and our relationships with funders. 

Speakers will discuss how to make proposals stand out, their thoughts about AI and shifts in government funding, any pet peeves, and more. There will be time for audience Q&A. Don't miss this chance to hear directly from the people who read the grants we submit!
