Grantsmanship Training Program
The Grantsmanship Center's signature Grantsmanship Training Program
is coming to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, August 17-21, 2009.
The program will be hosted by the
Bayer Center for Nonprofit Management at Robert Morris University.
The Grantsmanship Training Program is a comprehensive, hands-on workshop that covers the complete grant development process, from researching funding sources to writing and reviewing grant proposals. More than 110,000 nonprofit and government personnel have attended this fast-paced, five-day workshop, which is followed with a full year of membership support services.
During the workshop, participants learn The Grantsmanship Center's proposal-writing format, the most widely used in the world. In addition to practicing advanced techniques for pursuing government, foundation, and corporate grants, participants work in small teams to develop and then review real grant proposals.
Participants exit the class equipped with new skills, new professional connections, and follow-up services for one year, including professional proposal review, access to The Grantsmanship Center's exclusive online funding databases, and an array of other benefits. Many also leave with proposals that are ready to polish and submit.
Tuition for the Grantsmanship Training Program is $895 ($845 for each additional registrant from the same organization).
