Intensive Two-Day Grant Writing Boot Camp (In-Person)

The fundraising environment is more competitive than ever, making it essential to understand what it takes to write grant proposals that lead to funding.

This intensive, Intensive Two-Day Grant Writing Boot Camp will take participants step-by-step through the development of an actual grant proposal that they provide in the form of a proposal they are working on or a grant that they have identified that they would like to apply for. Participants will submit a concept paper before the workshop to facilitate feedback.

Attendees will gain a greater understanding of the key components of a winning grant proposal and end the workshop with a completed proposal to bring back to their organization and a textbook for future reference.

(Nonprofit professionals with grant writing experience or who have attended previous grant writing workshops would be good candidates for this session.)

In this two-day boot camp, participants will:

•     Review the key elements of a winning grant proposal
•     Refine a real grant proposal including a needs statement, goals, objectives and sustainability plan
•     Get instruction, advice, and feedback from an experienced grant-writing professional
•     Utilize feedback from fellow attendees to make their concept paper stronger
•     Collaborate and network with peers and share grant-writing insights

Note: The registration fee includes lunch for each day and a textbook.
