If You've Ever Been Rejected for Funding, This Conversation Is for You

Fundable by Design

About

If you've ever applied for funding and received a rejection email… or a generic "we went in another direction"… or no response at all, then this conversation is for you.

In this video, I talk directly to nonprofit leaders who have done the work, submitted the applications, waited patiently, and still heard no.

I share what those rejections usually mean, what funders are really saying (even when they don't explain it), and why rejection is often about positioning and readiness, not worth or effort.
