What will I learn?
It’s no secret that grants are one of the best ways for nonprofits to fund their programs. But, for most of us, there is nothing straight forward about the grant seeking process.
In this free online certificate program, you will learn how to find the right grants for your nonprofit, write great grant proposals, and build strong relationships with your grantors so you can count on funding for years to come
Course 1: What Is Grant Seeking?
Learn the difference between a grant and grant proposal, common sources of grants, and the three phases of the grant seeking process.
Course 2: Identifying & Cultivating Grantors
Understand grant management systems and examine the first two stages of the grant seeking process: identifying and cultivating grantors.
Course 3: Soliciting & Stewarding Grantors
Learn how proposals are used to solicit grantors, and then examine methods for stewarding grantors once a grant is awarded.
