Seminar #3

Grant Construction

The first step in grant proposal development is gaining a Community of Support.  In this workshop, we will discuss avenues to reach out to individuals or groups, both internally and externally that share your concern about a need.  Once you have established your Community of Support, this group will assist in gathering the necessary data to complete a logic model or “picture” of your need to use in developing your grant proposal. 

Through hands-on exercises, workshop participants will begin to develop a logic model from their data that illustrates their needs, the causes behind these needs, and the present programs/resources available.  With your Community of Support the logic model will be completed into a Plan of Action.  A Plan of Action includes what you want to do, who will do it, how long will it take, how much will it cost and how will you evaluate.

Once you have a Plan of Action developed with your Community of Support you need to find a funding source.  There are many different funding resources available.  In the workshop, links will be given to thousands of potential funders and strategies on how to match your needs to potential funders will be given.

Your Plan of Action will then be turned into your grant proposal.  The different sections of a grant will be presented with tips on how to write a successful grant application.
