Writing the Grant Proposal

Catalog description

This course introduces students to the grant-making process from initial research to the submission of a final proposal. Students will first work together to consult for a single non-profit, while learning about the components of a strong grant proposal and the grant-making process overall. Then, each student will be paired with a local nonprofit organization, as volunteer consultants for that organization. Students will work with their nonprofit organization to identify a new or existing project that needs funding. They will then take what they learn in class about the grant-making process and apply it to meet the needs of their nonprofit "client," with the ultimate goal of producing a complete grant proposal that can be submitted to funders
