Grant-Writing Skills

Grant writing requires specialized business writing skills.

If you work for a non-profit, research firm, NGO, or charity, you already know that writing grants is what keeps the lights on. How can your grant writing persuade potential donors that your organization is indispensable and deserves support?

Course Description

The Grant Writing Skills course teaches you how to develop grant proposals from conception through publication. You work with your instructor to draft and polish a grant proposal for a real or hypothetical reader. If you are currently working on a grant proposal, you may use it as your project for the course.

How It Works

Work Online

When you enroll, we give you access to all the online lessons and training materials. Each lesson builds on the lessons that precede it. We offer clear explanations for every part of our training and plenty of real-world examples of how to apply the skills you are learning.

Set Your Own Pace

You go at your own pace and submit assignments when you are ready. You don’t have to be online with other students or perform activities at specific times.

Instructor Feedback

Your instructor evaluates all your work, coaches you through learning the skills, and gives you personalized feedback on what you are doing well and what still needs polish. You can contact your instructor at any time if you have questions about your training, business writing, or the English language.

Certificate

When you finish the course within four months, you receive a graduation certificate.

Books

You may purchase the textbooks from a bookseller such as Amazon.com. You will also study online training materials.
