Together 2018: Collaboration, Innovation, and the Sustainable Development Goals

A lot of effort is required to write a winning funding proposal for a development project; the competition is usually stiff.  After the hard work put in, it is demoralizing to come up short.  This session is to help you tool-up for success.  

Whether making a pitch to a philanthropist for a project worth $100,000 or preparing a multi-million dollar bid to the bigger donor bodies like Global Affairs Canada or the International Financial Institutions, this session has something for you.  Our panelist will draw on practical experience writing and winning proposals at all levels.  Hear a handful of “across the board” tips for good proposal writing as well as specifics about the approach to the Canadian government, to the UN and to regional banks.  Only so much can be packed into 90 minutes, so the panelist will draw attention to resources that can help.  There will be time for questions and opportunities to meet the presenters outside the session.

This session has been organized by the Canadian Association of International Development Professionals (CAIDP).
