Before you register.
Is it really free?
Yes. There's no cost to register or attend.
Is this only for nonprofits?
No. Whitney covers grants for small businesses too, including where to find them, who qualifies, and how they differ from nonprofit grants.
I only have an idea. Is this too early for me?
Not at all. The webinar starts at the very first steps, so it's ideal if you haven't filed anything yet.
Do I need 501(c)(3) status to get value from it?
No. You'll learn how to get grant ready whether you run a business, already have 501(c)(3) status, or are still forming your nonprofit.
How do I join on the day?
After you register, you'll get the join link by email. You'll also get reminders before we start, so you don't miss it.
Will there be a replay?
Will you sell anything?
The webinar is teaching first. At the end, Whitney will share how to book a 1:1 Funding Plan Session if you'd like help with your own nonprofit. There's no pressure to buy.
Is this legal or tax advice?
No. The webinar is general education. For legal or tax questions about your situation, consult a licensed attorney or CPA.
Your mission
deserves funding.
