KANSAS CITY, Mo. (PRWEB) April 30, 2018 -- Kansas City, Mo: Support KC and Shipley Communications, LLC will organize a workshop for nonprofits on grant reporting on Monday, May 7, 2018 from 3:00 pm until 5:00 pm as part of their Mission Ready Monday™ series.

The workshop on May 7th will focus on how to write and document grant reports. The session will focus on the do’s and don’ts of writing grant reports, how to manage and systemize grant reporting and manage ways to create sustaining relationships with your grantor.

Grant reporting is an important but sometimes anxiety-inducing effort for some nonprofits and which happens to induce lot of anxiety and stress because of its competitive nature.

Though there is no one formula for successful grant reporting, yet there are certain elements to a successful proposal for repeat funding. This workshop will talk about what elements nonprofits must prepare while writing a grant proposal and the systemization of grant structures.

The January and February Mission Ready Monday™ workshops focused on creating a grants management calendar and developing a grant matrix to identify grants that are a good fit for nonprofits. The funding agency must be appropriate for the nonprofit’s program. Having a grant management calendar and building a grant matrix are the building blocks to help plan and write a successful grant proposal.

“Fund development and communications are critical to nonprofit success, says Debra Box, executive director at Support KC. “Through our partnership with Shipley Communications, we are excited to offer this opportunity for our clients to do a “deeper dive” into their fund development and communications practices and learn new techniques to support them in these efforts,” adds Box.

The Mission Ready Monday™ schedule for 2018 will cover everything from grants to how to give feedback. The series was created to help nonprofits create efficiencies and stay on mission.
