SUMMARY:Get the Grant Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Regardless of your experience level\, this workshop will help you build skills to draft a compelling grant proposal. \n\n\n\nPractical Skills to Help You Write Compelling Grant Applications \n\n\n\nWhether you’re just getting started or an experienced proposal writer\, this workshop will help you build skills to draft a compelling grant proposal. We’ll explore how to tell your story – the unique role your organization plays in your community and intended benefits it will deliver through proposed work – so your narrative matches funder priorities and requirements. Beginning with an overview of what’s important to consider when developing a project idea and how it could be funded\, we’ll focus on using storytelling techniques to effectively carry a consistent narrative through key elements in a grant proposal and ensure the budget supports proposed work. You’ll leave this session understanding how to use language that speaks to funder concerns within a given proposal structure and approach relationships with funders\, whether the proposal was successful or rejected. \n\n\n\nWorkshop Approach \n\n\n\nThe session will emphasize strengthening grant-readiness and application skills\, storytelling techniques\, funder alignment strategies\, and foundational budget development skills through presentation\, hands-on practice\, peer discussion\, and problem-solving guidance. \n\n\n\nKey Takeaways \n\n\n\nBy the end of the workshop\, participants will be able to: \n\n\n\n– Apply storytelling techniques to effectively convey organizational mission\, vision\, and impact and describe a funding request. \n\n\n\n– Build a clear budget aligned with proposed project goals and funder requirements. \n\n\n\n– Assess funder priorities and tailor proposals for stronger alignment. \n\n\n\n– Strengthen draft application sections through hands-on exercises and group discussion and feedback. \n\n\n\n**Coffee and tea will be provided. Please come prepared with your own bag lunch/snacks.** \n\n\n\nMeet Your Trainer \n\n\n\nDr. Ursula Bischoff is a strategic management consultant specializing in collaborative systems change\, inclusive community and economic development\, and organizational capacity building.
