By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
Conduct a comprehensive needs assessment to align grant proposals with organizational priorities.
Research and identify suitable funding opportunities.
Develop key components of a compelling grant proposal.
Manage a grant writing portfolio, including tracking proposals, reporting, and relationship-building with funders.
