This session is designed for grant professionals seeking to expand their knowledge and skills in crafting inclusive language and messaging that accurately reflects the diverse populations they serve.

During this transformative workshop, you'll learn how to reframe the way you think and write about your programs and the people you serve. As grant writers, we have a unique opportunity to shift the cultural narrative about nonprofits and philanthropy. Through a series of engaging exercises and discussions, you'll discover how to make "poverty porn" and stories told through the lens of white saviorism a thing of the past.

The session will focus on empowering you with tools and strategies to uplift marginalized communities through asset framing, empowering language, and ethical storytelling principles. You'll also learn how to use your role as a leader in the social sector to educate funders on the importance of inclusive language and messaging in grant proposals.

By the end of the workshop, you'll have a deeper understanding of the power of language and the impact it has on how we perceive ourselves and others. You'll leave with practical skills that you can apply to your future grant proposals, ensuring that your messaging is inclusive, empowering, and respectful of the communities you serve. Join us for this informative and inspiring session and take your grant writing skills to the next level!
