Grant Writing Workshop
Monday: 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
Tuesday: Home Work: Teams work off-site on materials provided by the Grant Writing Network to develop an action plan based on materials presented in the first day of the workshop.
Wednesday: 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
This workshop is designed to teach the process of grant writing using a systems approach. A highly qualified coach will present the various aspects of successful grant writing using a seminar format that engages the participant in the writing process from proposal idea to finished product. In addition to the hands-on workshop, each team will receive a complementary copy of the Grant Writing Network DVD “The Workshop” with their registration fee of $350. The DVD retails for $395. SB-CEUs are pending for this workshop and will be an additional $10 per person.
In these tough economic times, finding money for our programs is imperative. Now, with so many opportunities for grant money coming for educators and educational institutions, it is the perfect time to be poised with a prepared grant-writing team! If you want to be ready to write a polished, professional grant, this is the best time to invest in yourself, your staff, and your program. Give yourself the edge your program needs. There is only limited availability for this valuable workshop, so register early!
