Essential Grant Skills

When your ability to bring in funding is as strong as your dedication to your organization’s mission, you can help secure your organization’s future—and your career.

If you want to improve your ability to win grants, you’ll want

• fast, effective training to help you or your grants team master the most critical skills for success...
• expert coaching from the people who set the gold standard for grants training and continue to lead the field...
• training that makes the absolute best use of your limited time.

Essential Grant Skills, a new 2-day workshop from The Grantsmanship Centersm, is for you!

About the training

Essential Grant Skills gives you an overview of the entire grants process, with in-depth emphasis on the key areas where even experienced grant professionals often stumble. Knowing how to identify and overcome these hurdles is crucial to your success.

Essential Grant Skills is interactive and includes practical exercises. In this workshop, as in all our training programs, we use our Listen & Discuss, Do & Reviewsm curriculum, because it works!

What you will learn

The agenda for the 2-day Essential Grant Skills workshop includes:

• A sound orientation to the art of grants work. (Hint 1: You don’t get funded by "chasing the money." Hint 2: It takes much more than "grant writing" to win grants!)
• An in-depth examination of the four elements most likely to make or break a grant application—the same areas where even experienced grant professionals can falter:


1. Identifying and articulating client-based or community-based needs/problems
2. Defining measurable and realistic program outcomes
3. Identifying and articulating methods most likely to achieve those outcomes
4. Establishing your organization’s credibility and capacity
