Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Grants can be ‘Instrumentl’ in growing and sustaining your organization, but they can also be time-consuming and confusing. Gauri Manglik, CEO and Founder of Instrumentl, a barrier-breaking grant discovery, research and tracking tool, talks to Cara about how the challenges of sourcing grants inspired her and her partners to create a single source for organizations seeking grants.
Touching on her personal experiences and inspirations, Gauri unpacks the best use case for the platform, and digs deep into everything from eligibility to application pro-tips for nonprofit organizations of all sizes and geographic locations.
If you are questioning your strategy or weighing whether grants or Giving Season will be your focus for the second half of the year, Cara and Gauri will help guide that decision today in an episode packed with advice for nonprofits at all stages of development.
