Course Detail: CLDR805 - GRANT WRITING FOR SOCIAL CHANGE
GRANT WRITING FOR SOCIAL CHANGE: In this five session class, students will learn the fundamentals of grant proposal writing including: ethics, finding and vetting funding opportunities, analyzing Requests for Proposals (RFPs), organizing, writing, & submitting compelling proposals, and the do's and don'ts of teaming with organizations. Throughout the class students will choose one real nonprofit organization to work with (either their own or one provided for them to partner with) and identify, write, and submit a grant proposal for their organization. All assignments will be written exercises that will receive feedback from the instructor and contribute to the ultimate class goal of submitting an actual grant proposal. Bring a passion for an issue you care about, a desire to learn the proposal writing process, and a sense of camaraderie and humor.
