About This Course
Here's good news if you're a grant writer—even in lean times, there's plenty of money out there! In this course, two experts who've raised millions of dollars in grant money will tell you how to develop successful, fundable grants.
First, they'll walk you step-by-step through the process of grant proposal writing, revealing the "must-have" proposal elements and the seven deadly sins you need to avoid. You'll learn to recognize what makes a project attractive to a funding agency and see how to create a compelling case. In just a few weeks, you'll be prepared to convert an idea into a complete, well-developed package.
In addition, you'll discover how to target the best funding agencies for your project and learn insider secrets for approaching them in the right way. You'll also see how to follow up on a proposal, and you'll find out when it's possible to turn a "no" into a "yes."
Whether you're interested in writing grant proposals as a career or in obtaining funding for your organization, this course will give you the grant-writing skills you need to outshine your competition. Highly recommended for development professionals, educators, non-profit agency staff members or volunteers, and anyone else involved in fundraising for a large or small organization.
While the skills you'll learn during this course are transferable, we do want to emphasize that the focus of this class is on obtaining grant funding for non-profit organizations.
