Writing Short Course |
The subject of this short course is proposal writing. But the proposal does not stand-alone. It must be part of a process of planning and of research on, outreach to, and cultivation of potential foundation and corporate donors.

Grant seekers usually enter the grants arena with many questions. "Is grant writing really worth my time?" "What are my chances of getting a grant?" "Is it easier to get public or private grants?"
