Funder Focus Series
Series description:
What do funders look for in a grant proposal: data, stories, both? What kinds of projects do foundations find inspiring? What choices do funders make in support of communities? Join us for Nonprofit Austin at ACC’s Fall Funder Focus series to learn more about the funding and grantmaking process. Bring your questions for this exceptional opportunity to connect directly with those who make funding decisions that support nonprofit work.
Funder Focus: Connect with The Greater Round Rock Community Foundation
Your participation is invited as we learn more about The Greater Round Rock Community Foundation. Amy Merida, Executive Director of the GRRCF will share details about how this foundation supports the quality of life in the Greater Round Rock area and about how funds and resources are distributed to nonprofit organizations that support the community.
Funder Focus Host: Susannah Erler
Susannah Erler, Director, Greater Good Strategies
About Susannah:
Susannah Erler started in a public radio career (including being Director of a National Public Radio affiliate) which later morphed into her current calling to support nonprofits. She earned her master’s degree in Business with an Arts Administration (Nonprofit) specialization, is a Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) and is a Mission Capital Certified Interim Executive Director (ED). As an Interim ED, Susannah has assisted organizations such as the Literacy Coalition of Central Texas, the Texas Observer and the Texas Grants Resource Center. As a fundraiser, Susannah has obtained over $12 million in grant funds for nonprofit organizations and educational institutions.
Creativity is a word Susannah loves: she has played her violin in several rock bands, she made a documentary about her favorite restaurant (Tamale House #3) and loves to tweet about nonprofits (handle: @GreaterGoodGeek). Susannah grew up in Austin (but ask her about some of the other places she has lived too) and helps nonprofits in her role as Director of Greater Good Strategies.
