Online: Plan Like a Pro: Build an Approach That Funders Trust

Monday, September 8, 2025
11:00AM – 11:45AM PT/ 2:00PM – 2:45PM PT
Hosted by GrantStation

A strong approach section tells funders not only what you’ll do, but that you can do it well. As competition intensifies, you need to present a plan that is detailed, logical, responsive to your community, and supported by evidence. With so many factors to consider, it’s easy to make mistakes and write an approach that has insufficient detail or is misaligned with other portions of your proposal.

During this TargetED, Alice Ruhnke will show you how to write an approach that inspires confidence in your program and shows it is well-planned, feasible, and builds on community assets.

You’ll learn:

• What an approach section is and how it relates to the rest of your application
• Common components of an approach section and how to write them
• An explanation of best practices and how they can strengthen your approach
• How to write an approach that will mirror your budget
• Best practices in developing partnerships—a critical component of grant success

Who should attend:

TargetEDs are designed with beginners in mind. This session contains 30 minutes of practical teaching and 15 minutes of Q&A with Alice. It’s perfect for any member of a nonprofit organization seeking to strengthen their proposal writing skills.
