The inaugural presentation delves into the critical role that grants play in our organization. In this session, Kim covers:

• The significance of grants, which constitute 35% of our revenue.

• The diverse sources of our funding, ranging from government agencies to large and small foundations.

• The variable nature of grant funding, including its limited time frame and the possibility of discontinuation or reduction in any grant cycle.

• How grants help initiate programs that can later become self-sustaining through the revenue they generate.

• The specific and often one-time purposes of certain grants.

• The necessity of using grants as a stepping stone rather than a permanent financial solution.

Kim is available to answer any questions you might have. Stay tuned for the next presentation in this series!
