This course will introduce students to how nonprofit, public, and individual institutions obtain and manage financial resources.  Areas of focus include earned income strategies, writing, and execution of practical grant proposals and managing contracts that result from successful grants application in the nonprofit, government and other relevant institutions.  Students will engage in designing programs, outcome and process objectives, budget development and evaluation plans applied to the preparation of an actual proposal.  Grant contract management will include monitoring, performance evaluation and reporting program and fiscal data.  The experiential learning aspect of this course involves the use of regional or local funders to review and provide expert feedback on students’ written proposals.
