civic organizations had 1.2 million wage and salary jobs in 2006.
Grant writing is
the skill of asking for money in the form of a grant from a
foundation, organization or a government agency in the form of a
document. This document contains information on how the money will
be used, by whom will it be used and who will undertake the tasks
which are described in the proposal. Grant writing is, however, not
as easy as it seems. The Grant Writing course will hone your grant
writing skills.
Grant Writing needs a lot of research and patience. It takes time to
make a plan, coordinate the plan, write, and package and submit the
grant writing proposal. Persistence is the key to grant writing. The
ExpertRating Grant Writing Certification course is a valuable course
that will teach you the necessary tools and techniques required to
enter the field of grant writing.
In this lesson, you'll learn the different types of grant proposal formats for corporations, foundations, and state and federal government agencies. This lesson is important because you'll discover who reviews your proposals at each type of funder, what format the proposal review staff expect to receive, and how and why decisions to fund or reject grant proposals are made.
Friday - Lesson 02
This lesson will teach you how to carefully research the funding agencies so you can match your grant funding needs to their interests. You’ll learn how to find and use Internet research sites to identify multiple funders for grant proposal projects. And you'll learn how to spot the funder/project matches that result in a 90 percent or higher funding success rate.
Week Two
Wednesday - Lesson 03
In this lesson, we'll focus on how to prepare the first section of the grant proposal narrative-the research and major accomplishments section. You’ll learn how to sift through organizational documents and write useful information that will answer the dozens of questions that grant reviewers ask when reading your narrative. Most importantly, you'll learn how to avoid the mistakes that can cause your grant proposal to lose points during the initial stages of the funder’s review process.
Friday - Lesson 04
This lesson will teach you how to develop a current programs and activities section narrative template. You’ll also learn where to find the type of information a grant reviewer needs in this section of your grant proposal. And you'll learn how to stay on your toes to answer all the questions that funders ask when they read this section of your grant proposals.
Week Three
Wednesday - Lesson 05-
In this lesson, you will learn how to write accurate and magnetizing copy for the target population served section of your grant proposals. You’ll also learn how to conduct extensive research on your target population and how to order, organize, and write the information for this critical section of your grant proposals.
Friday - Lesson 06
This lesson will teach you how to find the most current information on your organization’s partners in the community, region, and nation. You’ll also learn how to identify potential partners when your organization has few or no partners. Most importantly, you'll learn how to organize and present your partnership information in an appealing format for funders.
Week Four
Wednesday - Lesson 07
In this lesson, you'll learn how to understand the needs statement section from the funder’s viewpoint. You'll also learn the type of information which needs to be to collected on the target population and your organization in order to glean language for this section.
Friday - Lesson 08
This is perhaps the most important of all our lessons. You are halfway through the main writing sections for your grant proposal narrative and gaining more confidence in your skills. This lesson will teach you how to show the funder that you have a well-thought-out plan for spending grant monies. You'll learn how to look at the program design section from the funder’s viewpoint, how to collect the right information, and how to spot poorly written narrative in this section.
Week Five
Wednesday - Lesson 09
In this lesson, you will learn to understand the thinking patterns of grant funders when they read the management plan section. You’ll also learn how to avoid the most common types of errors made by other grant writers when writing this section, and how to cull the right information from your program staff or administrators.
Friday - Lesson 10
This lesson will teach you how to look at the evaluation plan section from the funder's perspective. You'll also learn how to steer clear of the age-old errors that other grant writers make when planning and writing this section. From learning where to find the information needed to writing an award-winning evaluation plan to learning the common terms that funders look for in this section, Lesson 10 hits the target.
Week Six
Wednesday - Lesson 11
At this point, you're nearing the finish line for Advanced Proposal Writing. In this lesson, you will learn the standard definitions you need to know when it comes to planning your budget line items. We'll also look at examples of award-winning budget sections on the Internet. Most importantly, this lesson will teach you how to recover with the funder when you make a glaring budget error.
