Proposal Writing for Beginners - Online course
There are particular ways that grant makers and funders want proposals they read to be presented, and vital ingredients they want you to include. Are you getting it right?
One day online course
Online courses take place via Zoom and include a one hour lunch break as well as brief refreshment breaks.
In this course you’ll not only learn what grant makers want from pitches, but also how to make them engaging, persuasive and powerful.
Learn how to set out your case, outline the impact your project will make, and then back it up with strong budget projections and ways to measure your success.
Better writing and better proposals mean more success. This course will point you in the right direction.

“The training last week was genuinely one of the best training courses I have ever been on. I am already finding it is changing the way I am doing my work today. I am new to fundraising and only do it as a very small part of my job, but I feel really empowered to be able to take things forward, and raise important funds for our charity.”
