Learn How to Secure Grant Funding for Your Mission! This training will demystify the grant process so you can translate the passion for your mission into a compelling argument for funding. This training is ideal for both newbies and people with some experience from non-profit organizations seeking federal, foundation and corporate funding.
During this training, you'll research actual funding sources for your programs (government, private, and corporate), learning how to create a list of grantmakers who are aligned with your mission. You'll also learn how to identify and then create the 8 components of a successful proposal by using the Center's model for your own organization or project. Next, working in small teams, you'll develop real grant proposals for your own or a teammate's organization.
Once proposals are drafted, your trainer will lead constructive and supportive proposal reviews helping the class to understand how a funder will view their work. When you leave this training, you'll have tangible work product, including your own workbook as well as copies of all of the proposals drafted and reviewed in class.
Training Includes:
- An immersive experience delivered in-person, over 5 days
- Hard copy of textbook, Program Planning & Proposal Writing
- An e-notebook richly filled with resources such as:
- Sample grant proposals for reference
- PDF PowerPoints used in class
- Budget templates
- Digital workbook for building proposal components
- 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 databases for researching funders
What's the Cost?
The standard fee for this total training package which includes all training materials, 5 exciting days of in-person training from an expert, and follow-up services, is $1,519 per person, but thanks to generous underwriting by sponsors, those who are approved to participate will pay only $500 per person. Participants must commit to participating for all five days because parts of the training build upon one another, so substitutions are not allowed for individual segments.
Does Your Organization Qualify?
If your organization is a 501(c)(3) charity, providing services to residents in the Greater Baton Rouge area, with an annual budget of $750,000 of less, you may submit an application. You'll be notified of acceptance after applications are reviewed by the sponsors. Class size is limited to 30 participants.
