Lunch & Learn: From Opportunity to Award - Designing a Grant Strategy That Works

When:  Aug 11, 2026 from 11:30 AM to 01:00 PM (CT)
Associated with  AFP TX, Coastal Bend Chapter

This interactive Lunch and Learn equips nonprofit professionals with a clear, disciplined approach to grant development. Participants will explore how to move beyond opportunistic grant chasing and instead build a focused strategy grounded in mission alignment, organizational capacity, and compelling case development. The session emphasizes practical decision-making tools that help teams determine where to invest time, how to position their work effectively, and how to increase competitiveness in a crowded funding environment.


Participants will leave with actionable frameworks to strengthen internal alignment,
clarify funding priorities, and elevate the quality of grant submissions.
