If you're tired of restricted
funding that only allocates 10% (or less) of a grant for admin and
overhead, Nick Turner shares how he successfully makes a case for
unrestricted grants and gifts. Nick Vera is the CEO of the
Institute of Justice, and he has dramatically grown his
organization by soliciting and leveraging unrestricted
gifts.
In this episode, you and Nick will explore:
- The importance in gaining funder confidence before asking for large unrestricted grants

- Tactics for setting boundaries with funders who want to be overly granular in their restrictions
