SUMMARY:Grantseeking with FDO Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Learn with UMC: Grantseeking with Foundation Directory Online (FDO) workshop will be offered at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday\, Feb 11 at Social Capital\, 28 Spring St\, Belfast Maine. \nThis workshop is ideal for anyone in a fundraising role who has not yet had a one-on-one FDO tutorial with UMC staff. Certified Expert FDO Trainer Kelly Carey will offer an interactive\, hands-on workshop to introduce the grant prospecting tools available through UMC’s partnership with Candid’s Foundation Center Online. \nThere are over 140\,000 charitable foundations in the United States\, and 80% of them don’t have a website. Finding funders who are the right fit may seem impossible\, especially to small organizations who rely on volunteers. Foundation Directory Online grantseekers’ database offers incredible tools to make this process approachable. FDO offers up-to-date insight on grantmakers working in every part of the country\, in every field and interest. In-depth funder profiles and details on past giving can help nonprofits craft a strong case for the foundations most likely to give to their cause. \nIn 2019\, more than 50 nonprofit representatives used FDO at UMC to seek funding. 100% of surveyed respondents say they identified strong new prospects\, 60% said they will change how they ask current or lapsed funders based on their learning\, and 80% have recommended this resource to others. \nThis workshop is free but enrollment is limited. Registration is required. Call 207-236-2299 with additional questions. Attendees will access the database on UMC’s network with their own laptop or tablet\, so please bring a fully charged device adequate for about 90 minutes of online work. Snacks will be provided. \n***CANCELLATION/NO SHOW POLICY \nPlease note that while this event is free\, the experience is valuable and wait-lists are long. We require cancellation at least 48 hours in advance to fill your seat from the wait-list. If you are unable to attend at late notice\, please arrange for a substitute to attend in your place. If you cancel without a substitute within 48 hours or otherwise don’t show\, you will be charged a fee of $50.00. \nAbout the presenter: \nKelly Carey is program coordinator at United Midcoast Charities as well as the primary coach of the Foundation Directory Online database at UMC. She loves the magic moment when a grant seeker realizes that there is LOTS of grant funding available for their work. \nFill out my LGL form!

SUMMARY:Learn With UMC: Goals & Objectives for Grantseeking Success
DESCRIPTION:UMC program coordinator Kelly Carey will offer hands-on coaching on how to write a winning grant application with concrete goals and objectives at 3pm\, February 28th\, at the Picker Room of the Camden Public Library. \nAll around the nation\, funders are increasingly moving to data-informed\, outcome-focused grantmaking strategies. That means that it’s critical for nonprofits to clearly and concretely explain what they expect to do\, and why they expect their activities will make difference to a social problem. \nThis workshop is recommended for anyone with grant-writing responsibilities\, but especially for those who plan to apply for a UMC grant in 2020.  Pre-learning resources and post-workshop support are included in registration. \nThe workshop is free but we request that attendees register in advance to assist in planning. Refreshments will be provided. \nKelly Carey is program coordinator at United Midcoast Charities. She is the primary contact for questions about the 2020 grant cycle and may be reached at kelly@unitedmidcoastcharities.org. \nFill out my LGL form!
