EXTREME GRANT PROPOSAL MAKEOVER:
Present Your Program in a Whole New Way
July 27, 2011
10-11:10am
Everywhere you look this time of year, something is being made over. Homes, rooms in homes, faces and places, gardens and careers — just about everything imaginable is getting redesigned, refurbished, painted, dressed up, brightened and beautified. What better time than this summer to join the craze by making over that tired, worn out, and dated pile of words you call a grant template? Tackle the grant makeover now, and by fall you'll be ready to respond to a whole new season of grant opportunities.
Webinar participants will learn how to:
- Use the letter of inquiry to more effectively connect with a grant maker's guidelines and priorities.
- Transform disorganized proposals into logical, sequential and persuasive arguments for funding.
- Incorporate data and statistics to support (and not bury) your needs statement.
- Overcome stylistic challenges (such as writing too much or too little, florid prose, "writing by committee," or prose that is too academic).
