Grant Writing 101: Finding the Right Funder (format: half-day interactive workshop) Prospecting tips to help you identify foundations, corporations, and government grant programs, and how to approach different kinds of grantmakers. Grant Writing 102: Writing a Winning Proposal (format: half-day interactive workshop) How to avoid common mistakes applicants make, and develop realistic objectives, activities and budgets. Grant Writing 103: What’s She Got That I Ain’t Got? (format: half-day interactive workshop) Want to write better grants? Compare weak and strong proposals side-by-side and get a funder’s perspective on what makes for a winning application. The Ohio Environmental Education Fund will share examples from 20 years of grant making to show why one education project is more likely to be successful than another, and which proposal is more likely to be funded. One of the best ways to become a better grant writer yourself is to review others’ proposals. Practice scoring online applications, using OEEF’s preferred characteristics for projects targeting a K-12 or adult audience. Participants will be certified as OEEF volunteer peer reviewers. It is recommended, but not required, to take 101-102 before taking 103. Comments05/04/2012 9:11am
