This is an intro-level course. Learning how to find appropriate funding prospects not only helps you obtain grant dollars, it also saves you time from pursuing grants that are highly unlikely to be awarded to your organization.
In this class, we'll discuss grants databases and resources that are useful for researching grant prospects. But beyond running a search query in a database, we'll talk about how to go deeper and understand better what the funder's priorities truly are. We'll also focus on creating calendars to guide your annual grant-seeking campaign.
Coming to this class will help you identify prospects that are strongly aligned with your organization's mission, and will save you time by narrowing down your prospect list to the funders who are right for you.
Refund policy: Refunds are given with 72 hours advance notice. No refunds are given after that point in time.

Learn how to write an effective and
innovative federal grant proposal. Gain an understanding on how to
research grant opportunities, how to determine whether or not a grant
opportunity is a fit for your organization, and how to understand
scoring criteria. Discussions will also include how to write to your
audience, and the reviewers that federal agencies bring in to conduct a
peer review process. Hands-on examples guide the discussion. The
session is led by a grant proposal writer with 20 years of experience
and more than $65 million in funded grants.

Refine your skills as a grant proposal writer by doing what foundation staff do: review grant proposals, discuss the proposals with colleagues, and identify strengths and weaknesses within the text. Three participants will submit proposals for review by the larger group. For those who are participating as reviewers only, the class will help you generate ideas for your own proposals, and show you how a review process can unfold. For those who are having their proposals reviewed, you will leave with a solid critique of your work and a more fundable proposal. Register early as the class will be limited to 20 participants.

Get More Attention from Your Proposals: Grant Proposal Review
$175
introductory rate (four to five page proposal)Are you missing the target, or not quite sure if your proposal is as strong as it could be? Proposal writers rarely get any constructive feedback on their grant proposals; this proposal review opportunity will help you better understand the strengths and weaknesses of your proposal. This proposal review will also help you focus on what is important to outside reviewers, what's missing, and what shouldn't be conveyed in the first place. Jay Katz, who has 20 years of experience writing successful proposals, has helped many organizations improve their proposals and get better results. He will provide constructive feedback both in writing and through a personal conversation with the nonprofit. Call Jay at 303-800-5452 to sign up, or send an email to jkatz@coloradogrants.org
