IQ Ignited: Grant Consultants
To evaluate a grant’s competitiveness, you’ll want to research key success metrics, funder priorities and previously funded awardees to narrow down hundreds of grant opportunities to the grants with the highest success rates - and the grants your organization is best positioned to win. This process will save you thousands of dollars in wasted staff time while drastically increasing your grant win rate.

Fohrman & Fohrman, Inc.
The Grant Budget Blueprint: CFO’s Key Role in Winning Grants Nonprofit CFOs play a crucial role in securing funding, especially when it comes to crafting a compelling grant proposal budget. Two critical questions guide this process: What does the funder want to see in the budget? Dive into the application materials. Look for templates, formats, or specific instructions. A clear and accurate budget aligned with the funder’s mission will set your nonprofit apart. How can you align with the grantor’s vision? Sometimes, the best insights come from a conversation. A quick call or email to clarify requirements can build rapport and strengthen your proposal. The budget isn’t just numbers—it’s a story about how your nonprofit’s mission aligns with the funder’s goals.

Advancing Equity in Education: Insights from Dr. Donna Elam 🎓 At the 2024 Fostering Diverse Schools (FDS) Convening hosted by Shetley Enterprises LLC, Dr. Donna Elam, CEO of the Elam Leadership Institute, shared powerful strategies for creating equitable, inclusive schools. She emphasized that equity should be a clear, unified practice, especially in districts under court mandates. By defining equity vs. equality, schools can align all stakeholders and tackle systemic barriers. Dr. Elam reinforced that equity is achievable with strategic planning, open dialogue, and a commitment to student success. Let’s make equity a reality in every classroom. #educationaljustice #education #socialequity #schoolleadership #inclusion #educationequity equityforall #makeanimpact #diversity

Tickets are available for Stephen M. R. Covey’s May 15th keynote on Trust & Inspire, co-hosted by Eastern Kentucky University & the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE). Learn more, claim your ticket, & register for the conference at https://lnkd.in/gt9MTSET. Drawing from his newest and most transformative book, Trust & Inspire, Stephen M. R. Covey makes the compelling argument that even though our world has changed drastically, our leadership style has not. Most organizations, teams, schools, and families today still operate from a model of “Command & Control,” focusing on hierarchies and compliance from people. But because of the changing nature of the world, the workforce, the work itself, and the choices we have for where and how to work and live, these old rules of leadership no longer apply. #leadership #trustandinspire #education #edleadership #instructionaldesign #faculty #facultydevelopment #highered

IYG Summer Queer Camp provides a safe and accepting space for LGBTQ+ youth, fostering a sense of belonging and self-acceptance, especially vital in the current socio-political climate. We aim to create lasting friendships and support networks, enabling participants to connect with peers who share similar experiences and challenges. Our program celebrates and affirms LGBTQ+ identities, allowing #youth to embrace their authentic selves without fear of judgment or discrimination. Participants can enjoy the quintessential childhood milestones of summer camps, including outdoor activities, arts and crafts, and team-building games, creating cherished memories. Beyond the camp experience, youth gain valuable life skills, including #leadership, #communication, and #resilience, which are essential for their future success and personal development. Through this holistic experience, we aspire to instill LGBTQ+ youth with the self-assurance, abilities, and a solid support network that equips them to not just endure but flourish in the face of contemporary challenges. Kindly share it with your young friends and peers! Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. #lgbtq #queer #indianayouthgroup #indiana #unitedstates #lgbtqcommunity #lgbtqrights #summercamp #socialjustice #equity #healthequity #diversityequityinclusion #inclusiveleadership #genz

Inspiring insights from the closing session of the National Association for Community College Entrepreneurship (NACCE) annual conference! Moderator Christine Pigsley, PhD, led a thought-provoking discussion on mobilizing resources for underserved and rural communities. Here are the key takeaways from the leaders' call to action: - Engage with elected officials and celebrate successes. - Reach out to students in the margins and offer assistance. - Connect with your college foundation to jointly seek support in meaningful ways. - Collaborate strategically with partners for progress. - Listen attentively to the voices of rural communities. We appreciate thought leaders Jerry Edmonds III, Ed.D Christy Blake Johnson Marcy Euler CFRE Christine Pigsley, PhD D. Galen DeHay for sharing ways to take action. Empowering words to drive positive change and foster community development. #NACCE #CommunityEmpowerment #ResourceMobilization

I led one of my favorite professional developments with over 70 school leaders at the Archdiocese of Cincinnati on Building Trust to Have Courageous Conversations. One of my favorite parts of the PD with this group was the thoughtful discussion about the 13 research-based behaviors that build high trust. They discussed where these behaviors showed up at their schools and which behaviors could use some work. I am constantly inspired by leaders that take the time to reflect on how trust and relationships AUTHENTICALLY shows up. @catholicaoc #buildtrust #professionaldevelopment #crucialconversations #courageousconversations #principal

Building on results from a recent series of CLNA stakeholder assessments, several intriguing topics worthy of further examination for K12 CTE programs have emerged. The first is the establishment of Regional CTE Development Teams. Regional Dev Teams The rising demand and potential for CTE programs in both urban and rural areas requires substantial investment, a regionally-focused commitment, and creative strategies from K12, tertiary education, local economic development authorities, and industry/employer partners. A specialized K12 CTE Development Team (Dev Team) could lead a deliberate set of initiatives, including but not limited to the collection of additional ideas also derived from the same recent CLNA stakeholder assessments. Below are five ideas a Dev Team could focus on: 1 - Make CTE understandable. Enhance talking-points, descriptions, and outreach regarding CTE's mission, process, and value to make CTE more relevant and comprehensible to various audiences. 2 - The 13th year. Develop career pathway engagement opportunities for K12 students that extend into a 13th year. 3 - Optimize advisory committees. Improve the structures, aims, and activities of CTE Advisory Committees. 4 - Regional approach to CTE development. Expand engagement, development, and resources between urban areas and adjacent rural communities 5 - Fostering industry-supported WBL Opportunities. Assist industry employers in creating and providing work-based learning opportunities that link K12 students to career employment. These five initiatives are listed here to illustrate the kinds of efforts a regional Dev Team could undertake. Obviously there are many types of objectives a Dev Team could focus on. More detail is available at the Futures Research Blog: https://lnkd.in/gmz5HM_n. The development of regional Dev Teams could be informed through action research exploring questions like: - How should the Dev Team be organized, funded, and evaluated? - Who should be included in this Team, and what responsibilities should they have? Potential institutional partners to consider include local and regional higher education, economic development leaders, industry employment partners, and others. - What specific goals can and should a Regional Dev Team aim to achieve over 1, 3, and 5-year timelines? - What sources of funding are needed (and accessible) to finance the Dev Team’s activities? For instance: grants, donations, proviso funding, and co-investment from local, state, and industry partners? #cte #k12
