When you attend this life changing event, you will walk away with the blueprint that shows you and your leaders exactly how to tap into billions of available funding that major nonprofits like Catholic Charities, Salvation Army & United Way have been using for years.
- At this live event you will learn which corporations and foundations are aggressively awarding grants to support the programs and services that you provide or plan to provide in your community.
- You will also learn how to quickly and easily submit winning proposals to these funding sources even if you have never written a grant or submitted a application.

Unlike most conferences, the education doesn't stop after the live event
ends. The second part of the live community development conference is the long term technical assistance program. This means that after the live event ends, you will be enrolled in 12 month group coaching program designed to help you implement the techniques you learned during the live event....This is offered to you and your team at no charge.
