For early-stage entrepreneurs and small business owners, learning how to tell your story, align with funder priorities, and back it all up with measurable outcomes is the key to writing grants that win. Grants can unlock powerful funding opportunities, but only if your proposal can cut through the noise. 

The Nasdaq Center is excited to be joined by Tiffany Stewart, CEO at BirthWrite Consulting Group, to share actionable strategies on how to craft compelling, fundable grant proposals. This session is designed to give you the tools, structure, and strategy needed to stand out. Whether you’re new to grant writing or looking to sharpen your approach, you’ll gain insight into the core components of a winning proposal and show you how to integrate storytelling to connect more deeply with funders. You’ll also learn the differences between private, public, and foundation grants, and how to make your budget work just as hard as your narrative! 

Key Takeaways: 

• Learn the anatomy of a strong proposal and avoid common mistakes that keep applications from rising to the top. 

• Discover how to combine storytelling with SMART outcomes and measurable impact to persuade and inspire funders. 

• Understand how to make your budget reinforce your story, not just support your numbers.
