Writing a Compelling Narrative
We'll discuss what factors make a proposal pop that you have the ability to control within a writing project... persuasion, pitches, project design, and presentation. You'll leave with strategies to make your proposal shine.
Anatomy of a Federal NOFO
In this session, we'll break down where to find key information in a Notice of Funding Opportunity. Complete with tips on how to use this information to start the proposal and workplan templates.
Budgets & Budget Narratives
We'll start with roughing out a budget, and move into resource mapping, cost categories and sequencing, and how to transfer the numbers into a narrative. Bring your logic model to really tell a story!
Writing with Delivery in Mind
Pain points once you got the grant? Or what to prevent them? Let's talk grant design and writing for post-award capacity, compliance, and collaboration.
