Description

Grant writers are often in high demand for nonprofits and organizations hoping to raise money for important causes in their communities. Being able to write a successful grant proposal involves not only finding an opportunity that is the right match for you and a funding agency, but the ability to write a compelling proposal that clearly establishes the need for the grant. This requires a grant writer to pack a lot of information into a concise narrative, following all the funding agency’s requirements in a digestible and engaging manner.

Effective grant writing requires strong research and analytical skills, as well as strong writing skills. This micro-course introduces a knowledge base for honing your grant writing skills for concision, clarity, and precision, with your audience in mind and provides resources for cultivating relationships and ensuring accountability in the grant writing process.
