This series breaks the concepts down into manageable pieces that can be learned over time, and will guide you through:

  • Researching opportunities
  • Building relationships with funders
  • Designing high quality programs 
  • Organizational readiness
  • Writing grant proposals
  • Managing grants
  • Grant professional career paths
