Level UP - Accelerate Your Proposal Writing Skills (NEW)
Begins Wednesday, February 23, 2022
Let’s be honest—writing grant proposals can be overwhelming and confusing. If you find yourself stressed out by the process, writing applications that don’t get funded, spending too much time writing proposal after proposal, or all of the above, this Level UP course is for you!
Over five sessions, Alice Ruhnke, Founder and Owner of The Grant Advantage, will walk you through an entire grant proposal step-by-step, infusing resources to help you integrate the material into your grantseeking efforts. In addition to lecture-based learning, participants will engage with one another through meaningful structured activities and receive feedback on assignments designed to help you develop an organizational background, compelling statement of need, process and outcome evaluation, approach, and budget.
