The Gold Standard of Grants Training

There’s a place for brown-bag luncheons, half-day workshops, and two-day classes (we offer that last one). But if you want the comprehensive, in-depth experience that gives you a solid grasp on the world of grants, in only five action-packed days, you want the Grantsmanship Training Program.

What you learn so you excel at grant proposal writing

During this training, you learn how to:

• Use our proven proposal model—a model so successful that many funders have adopted it for their application guidelines
• Collaborate with others to create a strong grant application
• Use a variety of research tools to pinpoint the funders most likely to support and partner with your organization
• Review proposals the way funders do so you’ll understand what works and why
• Demonstrate your organization's capacity and credibility
• Develop a data driven description of the problem your program addresses
• Propose outcomes that are measurable and that can be evaluated
• Practice the art and ethics of grantsmanship
• Learn more about what you'll do during this training [2].

Why this training makes grant proposal writing comes alive

The Grantsmanship Training Program^® pioneered the Listen & Discuss, Do & Review^® curriculum — the most effective approach for adult learners. Our training uses hands-on exercises so that you retain what you learn.

You leave the training with a copy of each proposal created and reviewed in class, a workbook of proposal components for your own organization, a network of colleagues to contact, and 12 months of follow-up support from the Center via our Membership Program [4].

Our alumni have a track record of proven success

The 130,000+ graduates of this training have gone on to win billions of grant dollars for vital programs. Many nonprofit leaders point to this training as a key to their success. An ongoing, independent evaluation funded by top foundations in Los Angeles County proves that the Grantsmanship Training Program^® delivers a solid return on time and money invested.
