Online Grant Writing and Management courses for nonprofits and libraries

Is your nonprofit or library interested in attracting funding through successful grant writing? Yes, grant awards absolutely can help you start, maintain, and expand your programs.

The challenge is knowing what to expect in the grant world and preparing to be successful in it.

Navigating the grant world can seem overwhelming, confusing, and even mysterious at first. That’s why TechSoup and I created the Grant Writing and Management course track. It consists of 5 interactive courses that form a “starter kit” for grant success.

In the courses, we travel step-by-step along the “Grant Roadmap”, where you’ll learn to:

  • First make sure that your organization is ready for grant seeking.
  • Then plan and draft an entire grant proposal package.
  • Next, perform a mock review to make sure it’s complete.
  • Research and approach your most likely funders.
  • And manage the grant after it’s awarded.

Here’s the welcome video for the Grant Writing and Management course track:

In all 5 courses, you’ll engage with me through videos, interactive activities, and quizzes. You’ll also find dozens of samples, templates, worksheets, checklists, and other resources. And each module comes with its own transcript for easy reference.

Since its launch in October 2020, the course track has helped several hundred nonprofit and library professionals learn grant writing and management…on their own schedules.

Join them today and become one of the 92% who give the Grant Writing and Management course track high marks for its in-depth content and engaging delivery.
