The Grant Writing Basics course is suitable for people who have never written a grant (50% of our students), as well as those who have a lot of experience and want to take a fresh look at their current practices.

This course is adapted from a highly rated face-to-face training with proven results. More than 2,600 Kansans have been trained and found confidence and skills, resulting in at least $52 million of successful grants for playgrounds, park improvements, walking trails, building restoration, leadership programs, arts, programming, festivals, and other community infrastructure.

Consisting of two (3-hour) online live sessions with many additional resources, this format allows writers to formulate their grant ideas into a grant proposal. Participants are encouraged to bring their grants or grant ideas to share. Time for interaction with other participants is an important aspect of the class; even experienced grant writers pick up tips and are reenergized after consulting with peers. 

You will learn:

• Sources of data for community needs
• Where to find grants
• Elements of a great grant proposal
• Practicing the grant elements: Problem, Outcome, Activity, Evaluation, Budget
  
  

Additional information:

• This online course has two synchronous classes. The class resource materials are available the week before and several weeks afterwards.
• Enrollment is limited for each class, but we want to meet all needs; if the class is filled, please register on the waiting list.
• Classes are recorded for later reference or classes missed.
