“Grants often supply needed funds to an organization, and grant writers should understand the importance of proper management of grant funds, once received,” McClellan said. “Grant Writing Basics is designed for new non-profits or individuals new to the process.”

During Grant Writing Basics, participants will learn how to decode the mystery of writing grants. Topics covered will include: prerequisites before the grant writing begins, the types of grant funders, the components of a typical grant application, and tips to improve grant proposal. Participants will also practice writing an essential component of proposals.

This course is designed for grant writing beginners and will take place Wednesdays, Aug. 23 - Sept. 20 from 6-8 p.m. The deadline to register is Aug. 21. Cost is $79.
