In August 2024, I had the privilege of serving as a panelist at the Grants Professional Association Regional Conference. During the session, I shared insights on what companies, foundations, and family offices prioritize when evaluating sponsorship and grant requests. Drawing from my extensive experience in corporate philanthropy and community engagement, I offered practical advice on crafting compelling proposals, understanding funder expectations, and building meaningful relationships with funding partners. It was an enriching opportunity to connect with industry professionals and contribute to advancing best practices in grantmaking.
