Grant proposal writing for fundraisers
Securing funding for the projects that matter to you is more challenging now than ever. Learn the skills you need to master this skill.
Overview
Securing funding for the projects that matter to you is more challenging now than ever. Charity fundraisers face increasing competition and must master a range of skills. Their proposals must hook the reader from the beginning and not only paint a compelling picture of the problem but also persuade their prospect that they are the ones that can solve them.
In this intensive and practical course, your team will learn how to write persuasive grant proposals – as well as the supporting skills they need for effective fundraising today.
Outcomes
By the end of their bespoke course, attendees will be able to:
- identify and use win themes and highlight benefits that are meaningful to their prospect
- navigate the terminology in the world of grant proposals
- write clearly with impact
- use storytelling to create a compelling problem/needs statement and emotive case studies
- build and structure a persuasive argument in a free-form proposal or when responding to an ITT
- work with theories of change and logical frameworks
- avoid the most common pitfalls in grant-proposal writing
- write critical supporting materials – from prospecting emails to CVs that sell
- spot and correct errors in a proposal before it’s sent to the prospect.
A key feature of this course is that all attendees receive our unique pre-course writing analysis. This covers 15 different areas of writing skills and helps us ensure the training meets attendees’ precise writing needs, while allowing for rapid, targeted improvements.
