ABOUT THE CLASS
Grants are central to a comprehensive fundraising plan, and so is grant management. Identify the right foundations, study their guidelines and write a compelling proposal – either on paper or online. Ensure that you manage the grant properly and conclude with a thorough report that can help your grant funding continue.
You will learn how to:
-Research funding priorities of corporations and foundations to match with project/program goals
-Create successful written and digital proposal packages
-Track progress toward project goals
-Steward the granting organization in the most meaningful ways
-Report the results of the project internally, externally, and back to the funder
What you will receive:
-An easy-to-use, comprehensive study guide for future reference
-Resources for finding funding sources
-A bibliography on proposal writing
-Proposal and project content assessment forms
-Project management and reporting tools and resources
