Being responsible for writing a grant for your nonprofit organization can be intimidating. You feel pressure from many places, such as your supervisor, the agency or foundation you are approaching and (most of all) from yourself as you worry about getting it right and how your efforts will be evaluated. This course is for novice grant writers and will review the basics of seeking and writing grants for nonprofit organizations. The grant-seeking portion of the course will focus on resources available to charities to find grant opportunities and match your agency\\\'s program with the right funding source. The grant writing part of the course will focus on how to be prepared for writing grants, how to review grant application instructions; i.e. Requests for Proposals, and the main components of a grant. Many examples and samples will be provided.
