THE GRANT INSTITUTE CERTIFICATE IN PROFESSIONAL PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT
AND GRANT COMMUNICATION The Grant Institute is a five-day intensive and interactive experience in
which participants will be led through the program development, grant writing,
and funding acquisition processes through the completion of four courses. The Grant Institute is not a
seminar. Participants will actively
engage in exercises and activities designed to strengthen their mastery of grant
acquisition. Through the completion
of varying assignments, students will leave The Grant Institute with a real
grant proposal outline complete with quality research, solid content, and expert
review. The Grant Institute focuses
on combining the fundamentals of grant proposal writing with expert knowledge of
communication principles such as Strategic Research, Persuasion, Argumentation,
and Framing.
The Grant Institute trainers and consultants do not merely lecture
participants, but act as personal consultants and coaches dedicated to
encouraging participants to succeed beyond their own expectations. While The Grant Institute uses
collaboration and small groups for many exercises, each participant will work on
their organization’s project.
Participants are not overwhelmed with negativity or discouragement, but
will be given the highest level of expertise to generate confidence in pursuing
any funding project. At The Grant Institute, participants don’t just learn to write grant
proposals from top to bottom.
Participants become specialists in our unique area of expertise: Grant
Communication. Simply put, this is
not your grandfather’s grantwriting workshop. Our graduates are strategic, innovative,
and confident. Whether you are new
to professional grantwriting, or an experienced professional, you will not want
to miss The Grant Institute. PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATIONThis course is centered around the belief that “it’s all about the
program.” This intensive
course will teach professional program development essentials and program
evaluation. While most grantwriting
“workshops” treat program development and evaluation as separate from the
writing of a proposal, this class will teach students the relationship between
overall program planning and all strategic communication, including
grantwriting. Consistent in our
belief in grant communication, this class encourages students to understand
successful program development and to think strategically about funding as an
integral part of the overall program planning process. This class turns students into experts
by teaching how to take ideas and concepts and turn them into professionally
developed programs. ADVANCED GRANT WRITINGDesigned for both the novice and experienced grantwriter, this course
will make each student an overall fundraising communication specialist. In addition to teaching the basic
components of a grant proposal, successful approaches, and the do’s and don’ts
of grantwriting, this course is infused with expert principles that will lead to
a mastery of the process. Strategy
resides at the forefront of this course’s intent to illustrate grantwriting as
an integrated, multidimensional, and dynamic endeavor. Each student will learn to stop writing
the grant and to start writing the story.
Ultimately, this class will illustrate how each component of the grant
proposal represents an opportunity to use proven techniques for generating
support.
GRANT RESEARCHAt its foundation, this course will address the basics of foundation,
corporation, and government grant research. However, this course will teach a
strategic funding research approach that encourages students to see research not
as something they do before they write a proposal, but as an integrated part of
the grant seeking process. Students
will be exposed to online and database research tools, as well as publications
and directories which contain information about foundation, corporation, and
government grant opportunities.
Focusing on funding sources and basic social science research, this
course teaches students how to use research as part of a strategic communication
effort. Advanced Communication
Strategies: ICI Persuasion and Argumentation Techniques This course, designed by Institute for Communication Improvement, will
provide students with an arsenal of advanced persuasion and argumentation
techniques. Centered around expert
communication principles, this class will change the way students conceptualize
grant proposals and other fundraising tools. Students will leave this course with
ICI’s masterful methods and will be more than just confident grantwriters, but
communication specialists. This
course is grounded on the idea that fundraising and nonprofit development
represent profound communication activity.
Without question, this course is part of The Grant Institute difference.
