Grantsmanship Training Program - United Way of Southern Cameron County - May 2024

During this training, participants research actual funding sources (government, private, and corporate) for their programs. Participants leave the program with a list of appropriate funders and the skills to research funders independently. Participants also learn to identify and create the eight components of a successful proposal by using the Center's model for their own organization or project. Then, working in small teams, participants create real grant proposals for their own or a teammate's organization.

Once proposals are completed, the trainer leads constructive and supportive proposal reviews helping participants understand how a funder will view their work. Participants complete this training with tangible work product, including their own workbook as well as copies of all of the proposals drafted and reviewed in class.

Training Includes:

• An immersive experience delivered live over 5 days
• Sample grant proposals for reference
• An e-notebook richly filled with resources
• PDF PowerPoints used in class
• Certificate of Completion for all who fully participate
• Six months of Alumni Membership benefits which include:
  • A proposal review by one of the Center’s senior trainers
  • Access to funder databases
  • Discounts for more grant training, consulting, & publication
