Have you ever wondered about how to obtain funding for your small business? Are you a woman-owned business or are you a veteran? These two specific factors, as well as many others, may qualify you for special funding to start or expand a business venture.

This two-day course covers finding funding; planning grant applications; the peer review process; developing concept papers and problem statements, and writing techniques to enhance your funding applications.

The curriculum will include information on how to align a proposed project with the funder’s mission to improve the opportunity for success. Concepts presented through the training will be reinforced by hands-on exercises, group discussions, and interactions designed to complement learning.

The primary goal of this course is to develop successful grant writers who are prepared to move smoothly from writing to implementing their programs and projects. The training is for individuals and teams from a business, as well as from an agency, organization, or department.
