The Art of Grant-Writing
A nonprofit grant is a sum of money given by a government, corporation, or foundation for a specific purpose and used to further the mutual mission between the grantee and grantor. This training provides a comprehensive overview of the process for developing a standard nonprofit grant proposal that can be used multiple times to pursue funding. Because the grant proposal serves as your template for grant-applications, EVERY nonprofit should have one!

- Describe the three primary sources for grant funding.
- Describe the 8 standard sections of a grant-proposal.
- Understand key information to include in each section.
- Understand why funding applications are denied and what to do about it.
- Locate some of the best sources for finding grants.
Intended Audience: This course is designed to help pre-startup, newly formed, and small to mid-sized nonprofits position themselves for grant funding opportunities. Suitable for all levels of experience.
