Proposal writing for grant funding is competitive, and a highly in-demand skill. From non-profit organizations to educational institutions or even community groups, grant writing and grant management is a vital component of fundraising efforts, and can be critical for continued success and operation. Having grant writing skills is essential for many jobs and positions, not just ones with the title of “Grant Writer.”
This self-paced, online course continues to introduce the fundamentals of grant writing. It is the second in a set of three grant writing courses that form the Grant Writing certificate program and focuses on the eight core structural components of grant proposals, from introducing yourself or your organization and its mission, explaining the problem or need your organization has identified as well as your objective and plan to address the identified issue, how you will evaluate your program and how the allocated funds will be used. The course focuses on how to frame your "ask" and create a compelling narrative through the proposal components while including necessary and relevant information to improve your chances of being awarded funds.
While this is not an instructor-led course, enrollment in the verified track will also give you access to feedback on individual projects from grant professionals who will provide guidance on a generic approach that is easily tailored to any funding opportunity.
