SUMMARY:Webinar Wednesday: How to Grant write as a Queer Entrepreneur
DESCRIPTION:Running a queer-owned business is an act of resistance. Every day you open your doors or launch your services you are proving that our community belongs in the marketplace. But let’s be real: resistance is exhausting when you’re underfunded.  \n\n\n\nIf you’ve been DIY-ing your growth\, maxing out personal credit cards\, or skipping your own paycheque because you think grants are “just for non-profits\,” this 60-minute session is your wake-up call. If you aren’t applying\, you’re not only missing out\, you’re leaving possible money on the table.  \n\n\n\nYou will learn 1) what types of grants are available to for profit businesses\, 2) how to assess your eligibility\, 3) where to find relevant opportunities\, and 4) how to prepare a strong application. You’ll leave with clearer direction\, practical next steps\, and greater confidence to pursue funding that supports your growth rather than hinders it. \n\n\n\nVanessa Burns\, GPC is the founder of Vanessa Burns Grant Consulting. She teaches small businesses and nonprofits how to navigate the world of grants using purpose\, not panic. Vanessa is 1 of 6 Canadians to hold the Grant Professionals Certified accreditation and since 2021\, Vanessa has worked with over 130 clients to help them apply for first time grants\, become more confident in their grants programs\, and win much needed funding. \n\n\n\nRegister below and you will get a Zoom link in the next few days. \n\n\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.First Name *Last Name *Email *Job Title *Organization *		\n			2SLGBTQI+ Title Industry\n			\n		\n		Industry *City *Are you a 2SLGBTQI+ Entrepreneur *YesNoSubmit
