Funders are increasingly interested in an organization’s ability to demonstrate results. During this workshop, participants will learn several easy-to-implement methods for improving fundraising by developing a credible story of results based on program data that can be easily collected by staff.
The training will provide a detailed, hands-on introduction to identifying grant opportunities and preparing effective proposals. Additionally, the training provides instruction on effective grants management techniques.
Designed for those with little or no grant writing experience, the Grant 101 workshop will cover the following topics: learning how to find grants; getting the inside edge; creating winning strategies; and the nuts and bolts of proposal writing.
