Do you know the best way to present information in a grant proposal? In this course, an experienced grantwriter will show you how to research and write winning proposals that get funded. Learn what to do–and, more importantly what not to do–on every part of your proposal. Gain a full understanding of the criteria funders use to determine whether your grant proposal gets funded or rejected. You’ll become expert at ferreting out corporate, foundation, and government grantmakers, and you’ll know how to tailor your responses to information found in the peer review criteria. You’ll also discover a number of significant finishing touches that can give your project the edge over others. You’ll know the best type of paper to use, which buzzwords to include, which fonts work best, and which types of graphics and formatting techniques will make your proposal more competitive.
