San Antonio Area Foundation Effective Grant Writing for Social Impact

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. Participants will earn a certificate upon completion of the program.

Who Should Attend?

Staff at all levels, board members, program staff, volunteers for nonprofits, K-12 staff, and anyone seeking to secure grant funding.

Objectives:

Develop an understanding of where and how to seek grant funding
Become familiar with local resources
Understand the grant development and management process
Create effective grant reports that demonstrate your organization’s attention to monitoring, evaluation, and learning in the grant process
Identify strategies and methodologies to construct, operate, and report on grant budgets consistently, accurately, and transparently even in sophisticated donor templates.

Date: May 2nd and 3rd

TRANSFORMING DREAMS

INTO FUNDED REALITIES

The San Antonio Area Foundation's Grant Writing Class was essential for my start-up toolkit. I took this class to apply for grant funds to expand my reach for teaching youth financial literacy. I've been applying for grants since 2020 but have yet to succeed. Taking the SAAF Community Foundation's Grant Class helped me share my story but also share the impact my mission provides. Less than three weeks after completing the class, I won a grant to help my mission of youth financial literacy.
