Let’s talk about your course
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 – and the supporting skills they need for effective fundraising today.
A key feature of this course is that all delegates receive our unique pre-course writing analysis. This covers 15 different areas of writing skills and helps us ensure the training meets the delegates’ precise writing needs, while ensuring delegates make rapid, targeted improvements.
By the end of their bespoke course, attendees will be able to:
