When Grants Are Worth It & How to Make Admin Actually Pay Off

​Grants can be a gift, or a time sink, and it’s a very fine line. The difference is knowing when they’re worth it and how to work them efficiently from the outset.

Don’t let the all-too-common narrative that “grants are too cumbersome to be worth it” pervade your view. Instead, come dissect when and how to make the call on gray-area tradeoffs, and what you can do today to prepare yourself and your team to maximize success while minimizing headache.

​Join us for our next Enduring Planet & Friends community event: “When Grants Are Worth It & How to Make Admin Actually Pay Off”

​📅 Tuesday, January 27th

​⏰ 10:00–11:30 AM PT

​Moderated by Hannah Friedman, this session brings together Erin Davis (COO of Enduring Planet), Joel Armin-Hoiland (CEO of Climate Finance Solutions), Morgan Babbs (CEO of Popular Power and Board Member at Navajo Power Home), and Elke Trilla (Attorney at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati) to cover:

• ​When grants are strategically worth pursuing - and when to say no

• ​How to structure internal admin from day one

• ​Common legal and compliance pitfalls - and how to avoid them from the outset

• ​How to ensure grants support - not slow down - your business

• ​How to navigate the financial challenges of receiving and managing grants

​This isn’t a sales pitch or a “free money” narrative. It’s a practical discussion for founders deciding how grants fit into a real operating plan - before you apply and once you’ve secured them.
