About The Grant Search for Health IT

Presented by a veteran capital development executive with twenty years in nonprofit finance emphasizing IT expansion and capital projects, "The Grant Search for Health IT" is 90 minutes of actionable information. Looking at funders, examining their requirements and best approaches, we arm participants with the knowledge they need to hit the grantwriting ground running.

The webinar includes an overview of funding resources, particularly for the newly-attractive health information technology area, as well as other health technology projects, and additional information about how to find others. As a special bonus, registrants will receive a listing of the private foundations and Community Foundations in their own states that match the profile of health technology funders. For some states the list runs into the hundreds of potential funding sources. As attendees will discover, many of these sources remain untapped for health IT project funding.

This webinar is designed for administrators, finance personnel, capital advisors, RHIO/HIE organizers, government leaders and funding organizations to point out alternative funding approaches for vital projects. The sessions provide an opportunity to ask questions following the presentation.
