Lots of people have great ideas and enthusiasm for projects that will make the world a better place, help their community, or advance their own goals, but few know how to take their great idea and turn it into a reality.

This two-part series explores two popular fundraising methods - grant writing and crowdfunding - and breaks down the two most essential parts of the process: crafting a persuasive argument for why your project is worth funding, and putting together a solid budget for how much the project will cost.

Using examples of a garage band looking to record their first album (crowdfunding) and a nurse looking to start a local elder care awareness initiative (grants) this program is a timely, essential series for budding entrepreneurs, artists, and advocates.

There are two programs in the series also available individually:
DEVELOPING A PERSUASIVE PROPOSAL 20 minutes
REACHING YOUR FINANCIAL GOAL 18 minutes
