AGWA offers a 4-day Grant Researching and Proposal Writing Workshop. The workshop is a hands-on experience where participants develop a program, practice writing sections of a proposal and review peer's writing samples. The following topics are covered during the workshop:
- Program development using a logic model
- Researching government, corporate and foundation grant opportunities
- Evaluating NOFAs and RFPs
- Researching statistics to document the Statement of Need
- Planning Outcome Based programs
- Planning Program Evaluations
- Planning Non-Profit and Government Program Budgets
- Writing Executive Summaries, Letters of Inquiry, Foundation Proposals, Common Grant Applications and Government Grant Applications
The workshop begins at 8:30 AM and ends at 4:30 PM each day. A morning and afternoon break are provided each day. Lunch is on your own. Dress is casual.
We recommend participants bring a laptop computer for writing exercises and a hand calculator or budget exercises. We also recommend bringing a sweater or jacket because meeting rooms often feel chilly. We also recommend, prior to attending the workshop, you read the book "Guide to Proposal Writing, 5th Edition" by Jane Geever, which is available at our website Bookstore or at many local libraries and bookstores.
