Fund Your Community
The Strategy for Positioning Local Programs for Grants & Government Contracts
March 9–10, 2026 | 7:00–9:00 PM (Virtual)
Early Bird Pricing Ends On:
You’re Doing the Work.
So Why Aren’t You Getting Funded?
You’ve built programs.
You’re serving your community.
You’re hosting initiatives.
You’re helping people.
And yet… Funding still feels inconsistent.
You see other organizations getting grants.
You hear about contracts being awarded.
You watch funding announcements happen.
But you weren’t selected.
It’s not because your mission isn’t valuable.
It’s because funding follows structure.
Grants and government contracts are not awarded based on passion alone.
They are awarded based on positioning, alignment, and measurable program design.
That is what this intensive will teach you.
Funding Is Not Random. It Is Strategic.
Since 2020, Dr. Alexis and her organization have secured and been allocated over $5 million through grants, government contracts, donations, and structured program initiatives.
The shift was not more effort.
It was alignment.
Moving from event-based activity to measurable, documented, structured programs created access to funding.
This 2-day intensive shares that strategy.
Day 1
Grant Funding
Featuring Willie “The Grant GOAT” Finklin
Willie Finklin has helped organizations secure over $30 million in grant funding.
Not theory.
Not templates from Google.
Real funding at scale.
During Day 1, he will break down:
How nonprofit grant funding actually works
The difference between grants and government contracts
What reviewers look for before awarding funding
Core components of a strong funding strategy
Organizational readiness and positioning
Practical tools to strengthen nonprofit infrastructure
You will gain clarity on how funding decisions are made — and how to position your programs accordingly.
Day 2
Positioning Your Local Programs
Led by Alfreda Boney, Workforce Development Expert
Funding does not happen in isolation. It follows structured programs.
On Day 2, you will learn:
How to structure local workforce and community programs
How to align your programs with regional funding priorities
How to design measurable outcomes
How to strengthen sustainability
Organizational readiness and positioning
How to position initiatives for long-term funding success
Because without alignment, funding will always feel out of reach.
This Is Not…
A motivational webinar
A surface-level grant writing class
A promise of “instant funding”
A sales-heavy pitch session
This is strategic instruction.
You will leave with clarity on:
How funding works.
How programs are evaluated.
How programs are evaluated.
How to strengthen your funding readiness.
