Developing a competitive grant proposal can be a daunting task, but understanding the elements of a successful proposal can mean the difference between a proposal being funded or rejected.
UVI CELL is encouraging non-profit and faith-based organizations to take advantage of this unique opportunity to learn effective and successful grant writing strategies. The course – Winning Grants: Essential 21st Century Proposal Writing Techniques will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:00 – 8:00 pm starting April 6, 2021, via Zoom.
This action-learning lab is designed for grant writers and development staff who work in non-profit and faith-based settings. It is open to both novice and experienced grant writers who would like to enhance their skills in response to heightened competition for available funds.
The course covers a range of topics such as organizing the grant writing process, preparing letters of interest and concept papers, techniques to create competitive grant proposals, preparing the essential elements of a grant application infusing best practices and 21st-century research, and data sources and tips for writing fundable grants.
