Effective Grant Writing
Presenter: Jeff Cohen, Cohen & Associates
Cost: $99
 
Brief Overview:

A one-day complete “nuts and bolts” guide to grant proposal development and management of critical proposal development processes. Participants will develop a detailed outline of a full grant proposal and develop logical and compelling narrative and spreadsheets in the challenging sections of needs assessments, objectives, evaluation and budget. Participants will also develop strategies for researching, cultivating, communicating, and building partnerships with foundation, corporation, and government funders.

Additionally, the workshop will cover “important yet rarely-discussed” topics such as writing and editing styles, expectations and measurement of a successful grant writing program, the relationship of grants to overall organizational fundraising, the role of management and volunteer leadership in grant-development initiatives, and organizational team-building to support grant proposal development. Comprehensive handouts and online resources are provided.

This workshop has been highly rated as effective for both the beginner and advanced grant-writer, because of the unique perspectives provided by the presenter.

Comments From Participants:

“I took your one-day Effective Grant Writing class last September, and I just recently submitted two Grant proposals and both were approved!   I can't wait to submit more!!!! Thanks for a very informative and easy to understand class! Thanks again.”
-Valerie Young, After School Action Program (ASAP)

“I will look for more courses taught by Jeff Cohen.”

 “It helped fine tune what I had a basic understanding of & I can now see I need a dedicated volunteer to work on the grants. Help w/narrative was very helpful.”
