the Grants Lab
Let's work together to get that grant.
Staring at a blank screen, wondering what words will get the grant?
In eight 2-hour classes spread over 10 weeks, you and your cohort will develop your grant writing skills with expert grant writer and trainer Lynda Berge Disser of Paper Crane Funding Solutions.
- You will start with a consultation with Lynda to identify a funding source and their application requirements
- YES, you will be writing a grant application during the ten weeks of this course!
- The Grants Lab is a place to learn, practice, make mistakes, try again, ask questions in real time and get customized, one-to-one feedback throughout.
- By the end of the course, you will have all of the components you need in a grant proposal – ready to submit and secure funding.
