Winning Operating Funds from Foundations: An Interactive Audio Presentation

SILVER SPRING, Md. - Nov. 26, 2013 - PRLog -- The all-too-common problem: You want to launch a new program but you also need money to cover rent, day-to-day expenses, and staff salaries. In short, you need help with general overhead costs and getting such help in today's funding environment can be difficult, especially since many private funders don't support overhead.

So what should you do?

While operating expenses are not high priority for most foundations, the prevailing myth that foundations won't pay for such expenses is not true. Nonprofits can indeed find funding for operating expenses that are essential for providing new programs, but you just have to know where to look.

*Just how common is foundation support for operating costs?
*How much should you request for overhead costs?
*Do "operating costs" mean the same thing for all private funders?
*Can operating costs include staff salaries, consultative and legal services, or rental fees?
*And most importantly, what are the keys to success when seeking operating support?
