»»» We are currently not providing any training or workshops (April 2024).
In this full-day high-touch, hands-on workshop, you'll
learn effective strategies for researching and writing foundation grants.
This workshop combines lecture, group discussion, and hands-on activities to reinforce course material.
You'll practice with more than a dozen exercises and leave with new ideas and actual writing samples that can be incorporated in your next grant proposal.
The focus of this workshop is foundation grants.
(State and federal grants are not part of this program.)
