✅ How the Nonprofit Management Fund helps nonprofits strengthen operations through consulting and capacity-building grants
✅ Why the fund doesn’t pay for individual grant writers — but does offer cohort training and fundraising bootcamps
✅ How demand for grants has surged in 2025 — and how the fund responded by front-loading disbursements
✅ What makes a strong grant application (Hint: Read the funder’s website first!)
✅ Why building relationships and context with funders matters more than ever
✅ The collaborative power behind eight funding partners working together to build nonprofit resilience
🎯 Funders featured include: The Lynde & Harry Bradley Foundation Greater Milwaukee Foundation United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County Northwestern Mutual Rockwell Automation Bader Philanthropies, Inc. Zilber Family Foundation Daniel M. Soref Charitable Trust Plus: Libby shares why a simple coffee mug on a desk can say, “We won a grant,” and how small gestures celebrate big wins in the nonprofit world. ☕🏆
