Grant Writing Part 1: Fundamentals
Presenters will review the fundamentals of responding to requests for proposals (RFPs): RFP life cycles, types of RFPs (federal, state, foundation, corporate, etc.), and strategies for finding and selecting RFPs. Participants will complete a short survey on their “burning questions” for Grant Writing, which will inform the details of Part 2.
1. TH 8/22/24, 9:30-11:30am
Grant Writing Part 2: Templates and Examples
Presenters will present a framework for developing proposals. The framework will center organizational sustainability, programmatic success, effective storytelling, and positive scoring. Presenters will then present example proposals, varying in quality and type. Participants will discuss and workshop the example proposals.
Sessions will be recorded.
