Funding & Grant Writing Webinars

Strategies for Developing Competitive Federal Applications

Wednesday, February 26, 2025  |  1:00 PM ET - 2:30 PM ET

With the pause on FY25 federal funding announcements, we know things might feel a bit uncertain right now. And when the announcements do come, there may be less time to prepare grant proposals. That’s why it’s more important than ever to be ready to hit the ground running.

In this webinar, we’ll:

• Break down what we know about the FY25 federal funding landscape
• Discuss how shifting federal priorities may shape upcoming funding opportunities
• Share strategies to align grant proposals with these new priorities

Our expert federal reviewers will also highlight what we can do right now—offering practical grant writing tips to help set us up for success when funding is released.
