Mark Palmer from Verdant Management & Consulting will present a webinar on the subject of grant and proposal strategies for different sized businesses or non-profits. Important topics will be about the differences between the grant and open bid processes. In the beginning will define key terms and acronyms like RFP, RFQ, and IFB, etc.

Then we will discuss typical processes as well as some tips for preparation and submission of proposals. Most importantly, we will discuss how to be strategic in deciding which opportunities to pursue and which to avoid. It is important for these opportunities to align with the financial and business objectives of your company or organization.

To conclude, we will discuss how to avoid and minimize risks in any proposal strategy. All proposals require a time investment up front to research and write, rarely do you know who your competition is, and there is never any guarantee of winning. This is where having a well developed strategy for proposals can increase your chance for success.
