Grants can be a powerful tool for growing your cooperative, but jumping into the world of fundraising without the right preparation can lead to frustration and wasted time. In this session, you'll learn how to assess whether your co-op is ready to apply for grants, what foundational materials and systems you'll need in place, and how to start the grant-seeking process with confidence. We'll also explore how to identify funders who are aligned with cooperative values and how to spot red flags when they aren’t. Whether you're just beginning to explore grants or looking to sharpen your strategy, this session will offer practical guidance and tools to help your co-op attract mission-aligned funding.
