Strength-Based Grant Writing is intended to help build new capacity for nonprofit organizations. This hands-on, intensive training will help aspiring and experienced grant writers to approach grant writing from a strength-based perspective. At the end of this training, participants will not only understand all the components of a grant application, but will also have a new way of looking appreciatively at what works in their organization and community.

The workshop will help participants:

  • Experience and understand strength-based approaches to enhance program planning.
  • Incorporate strength-based strategies into common sections of a grant proposal.
  • Use a Program Planning Framework to develop grant proposals that tell a compelling story.
  • Understand how to find grant opportunities and work with funders.

Almost 500 people have attended this workshop since its inception. One participant recently wrote:

I had the absolute pleasure of participating in your Strength-Based Grant Writing Workshop this past October. I cannot express to you how extraordinary and worthwhile I found the entire process. So far, my organization has been approved for two of the grants that I have written – there is no doubt in my mind this would not have been feasible without the tools and knowledge I gained through your workshop.

Come and join the growing network of nonprofit professionals approaching grant writing from this energizing perspective. Registration is limited to the first 50 people.
