About the Program The

Foundations of Grantwriting
The interest in grant writing certification is
increasing daily and rightly so. But the
problem is the particular area of interest.
Grant writing, although a very technical
form of writing and an extremely important
position within any non-profit, private
organizations
and
companies
or
governmental agencies, is NOT a
profession; it is a position. Most grant

writers are not just grant writers. They are

Board Members, Executive Directors,
fundraising
specialists,
international
relations specialists, etc. Have you ever
been asked by an employer, Do you have a
degree in grant writing? No. I bet you
have, however had an employer ask if you
have experience in grant writing or have
you taken any classes.

Here is the deal! We offer certification for grant writing where

you will be formally instructed in this area of interest!

The course on The Foundations of Grant

Writing is geared toward those who work
for non-profit organizations, private
organizations
and
companies
and
governmental agencies. Participants will
learn how to develop ideas for winning
grant proposals, identify the right funding
source for them, and understand the

proposal development, and submission

process. This high level 42-hour training
course teaches trainees the key points of
grant writing, enabling proposals and
applications to be more competitive
oriented on the success of the
organization.
