Do you want to win a grant to fund your project, program or organization? Are you exploring grantwriting as a career? Start by sharpening your grantwriting skills to appeal to today's funders! In this highly interactive workshop, you will learn to "sell" your work to foundation and corporate funders with a well-crafted grant proposal. We'll focus on your readers' interests and how best to tell them your story. The class will allow time for you to clarify your thoughts, commit your ideas to paper, and process lots of new information.

This unique class features:

* An easy 4-step method for planning before you write;
* Extensive handouts;
* Class discussions and role plays;
* Hands-on exercises;
* Homework;
* Focused funding research training and practice;
* Lots of personalized feedback from your classmates and the instructor.

Please come to the first class with a project n mind that you'd like to get funded. If you are not currently working on that project, you can invent one for the class.

Note: This class is designed for beginning or intermediate grantwriters

This class includes a session on funder research that will be held at the Foundation Center in San Francisco.
