Grant Writing for Non-Profits

Overview

Grants are one of the best ways for non-profits to fund their programs. However, the process of securing grants is highly competitive. To write a convincing grant proposal, you'll need to tailor your proposal to the interests of the funder, communicate ideas clearly, convey a core compelling idea, and write to persuade. In this course, we will teach you the basics of grant funding and the art of crafting a persuasive and compelling proposal that captures the attention of funders.

The first step in the grant writing process is to find the right grants for your non-profit. Developing and sending one proposal to a long list of funders won't work. We'll introduce you to different types of grants and teach you how to find grants that fit your organisation's needs. We'll show you how to grasp eligibility criteria and requirements, assess your organisation's grant readiness and craft a comprehensive grant-writing plan. In addition, we will teach you how to build a complete budget narrative and the strategies for cost allocation.

Next, we'll teach you how to navigate reviewer feedback, tackle revisions and cultivate lasting relationships with funders even after the completion of the funding process. We'll explore the evolving landscape of grant writing and provide insights into current grant application formats, essential guidelines, and dos and don'ts while writing grants. This course is for anyone who wants to learn the best practices for writing grant proposals and securing funds. Start the course now and strengthen your chances of winning grants.
