| Description: | Preparing successful grant proposals to receive funding from corporations or foundations requires careful research, meticulous preparation, and graceful writing. Unfortunately, very few grant requestors have a true mastery of the proposal writing process. If you learn how to avoid the errors that lead to the rejection of your proposal, you will win most of the time. This course will walk you through all of the essential steps--including a discussion of what you should do when the grant arrives! In this course, you’ll learn how to become fully familiar with the institution or project for which you are requesting support. You’ll get valuable guidance in preparing a background statement and a brief financial statement to support your request. You’ll also research some charitable foundations and corporate giving programs. Then, you will learn how to put everything together to assemble, write, and submit complete grant proposals to foundations, corporations, and wealthy individuals for any number of your pet projects. Requirements: Completion of Linda Vallejo's A to Z Grant Writing online course is strongly recommended. Internet access, e-mail, and Netscape or Internet Explorer Web browser. |
