Solutions workshop . 

  

Grant Development Solutions consists of (5) Sessions that will be
completed during a two-day workshop . 

 

 

Grant Research/ Program Development- Session One 

 

 

This course is centered around the belief that "its" all about the
program." This intensive course will teach professional program
development essentials and program evaluation. While most grant writing
"workshops" treat program development and evaluation as separate from
grant writing of a proposal, this class will teach students the
relationship between overall program planning and all the strategic
communication, including grant writing. Consistent in our belief in GDS
, this class encourages students to understand successful program
development and to think strategically about funding as an integral part
of the overall program planning process. This class turns them into
experts by teaching how to take ideas and concepts and turn them into
professionally developed programs. 

  

 

Grant Proposal Writing- Session Two 

  

Designed for both the novice and experienced grant writer, this course
will make each student an overall fundraising communication specialist.
In addition to teaching the basic components of a grant proposal,
successful approaches, do's and don'ts of   grant writing, this course
is infused with expert principles that will lead to a mastery of the
process. Strategy resides at the forefront of this course's intent to
illustrate grant writing as an integrated, multidimensional, and dynamic
endeavor. Each student will learn to stop writing the grant and to start
writing the story. Ultimately, this class we illustrate how each
component of the grant proposal represents an opportunity to use proven
techniques for generating support.
