In an era of declining resources and increasing community needs, the ability to successfully seek and acquire supplemental funding is essential for any organization. Unlike fundraising, grant writing is an art form that relies on storytelling to secure funding and resources from government agencies, foundations, corporations, or individuals. In this course you will learn how to help your organization develop and manage grants effectively through the grants’ lifecycle.

Develop an understanding of where and how to seek grant funding
Become familiar with local resources

Create effective grant reports that demonstrate your organization’s attention to monitoring, evaluation, and learning in the grant process
