FND 241 | Writing Winning Grants for Foundation and Corporate Giving

Overview

Grant writers must consider both the practical and conceptual aspects of a competitive grant proposal: Great proposals focus on the funding organization (be they a foundation or corporate grant maker) and include the “extras” that make the difference between success and failure. In this class, you will work through best practices in successful grant writing and submission, and you will have opportunities to ask questions and unpack concepts collectively with your instructor and peers.

• Research statistics that illustrate the problem statement.
