About this session:
Your Candid profile is often the first thing a funder sees, sometimes before they ever open your proposal. Yet most organizations leave their profile half-finished and miss the Seal of Transparency that signals credibility at a glance.
In this two-hour, hands-on workshop, you will build out your Candid profile alongside Allison Welch, M.Ed., GPC and learn exactly what it takes to reach Gold. Reaching that level also unlocks a free subscription to Foundation Directory, one of the most powerful prospect research tools available, which makes this one of the highest-value returns you can get from a two-hour session.
This session is for organizations and consultants who want to strengthen their Candid presence and put Foundation Directory to work.
You'll walk away with:
A clear understanding of what each Seal of Transparency level requires and why funders pay attention to it
Completed profile fields that matter most for credibility and searchability
A clear path to Gold, including the steps to qualify for the free [ONE/TWO]-year Foundation Directory subscription
Working knowledge of how to put Foundation Directory to work for smarter, faster prospect research
