The following video is from The Grantsmanship Center.
By The Grantsmanship Center’s director, Barbara Floersch.
In this video, The Grantsmanship Center explains what is needed in one of the most important part of writing a grant proposal, the problem section. The problem section is the section in which you explain why your organization is seeking a grant.
The goal of this video: assist you in writing the problem description part of a grant.

After learning the stories of past local recipients, we’re excited to remind you of a unique local opportunity for renewal, learning and inspiration presented by the Foellinger Foundation:
“There is no substitute for inspiration.”
- http://foellinger.org
“The job of a nonprofit leader – perhaps the most important job – is to inspire others to help fulfill the organization’s mission. But who inspires the leaders? That question led the Foellinger Foundation to invest in a new type of grant opportunity, called Inspire. The intent is to provide nonprofit leaders (board members, executive directors, and senior staff) with opportunities to reflect on their work and renew their passions and creativity. The lessons learned from these opportunities are then applied to make the organization more effective over the long term.
- The availability of the INSPIRE grants will be announced annually in June, and grant applications will be due on the first Friday in September. Grant decisions will be reported by November
- Grants are for two-year project support beginning the calendar year following approval.
- Grants will made in two phases: The Inspire Phase (up to $15,000) during the first year; and the Action Phase”

And finally, take a few minutes to watch Foellinger President, Cheryl Taylor, discuss the Inspire Grant opportunity, along with other unique Foellinger opportunities, including, The Strengthening Organizations Grant and the Rolfson Stewardship Award.
We’re inspired by the work you do – and hope you consider the opportunity for renewing your own inspiration to work.

We relish the opportunity to present first-hand accounts from people attending our programs on the knowledge and resources gained.
At our most recent 23@4 Thursday, Debbie Gotsch of Cross Connections, Inc., was kind enough to allow us to take video of her feedback on the program Marilynn presented on Nonprofit Board Tools & Resources.
The program offered a wealth of information and resources for nonprofit organizations looking to improve their boards in a number of areas.
But, to quote a phrase from an all-time favorite PBS children’s show, “…you don’t have to take my word for it.”
