8-session course schedule:

Every week starting June17, you’ll get access to a new training video of about 2 hours each, plus detailed handouts and resource materials. Because this is an on-demand program, once a session has been released, you and your team can watch at any time, on your own schedule.

Here's the Agenda:

Part A. Starting Right Where You Are – Right Now (Session 1, released June17)

The first week is all about meeting you right where you are – wherever you’re starting out - and getting you ramped up and ready for the journey ahead.

• You’ll start by “packing your travel bag” – getting you grounded in the powerful concepts and paradigms you’ll be exploring – the very big big-picture thinking at the heart of “The Ultimate Grant Proposal Blueprint.”
• Next, you’ll get your first look at the framework you’ll be working with. You’ll take a high flyover of our “Blueprint” territory and start exploring the key tools, processes, and ideas that will support you on your journey.

Part B: Your Ultimate Grant Proposal Blueprint, Unpacked (Sessions 2-7)

For the next six weeks you’ll be taking a deep dive, one at a time, into each of the key sections of your Ultimate Grant Proposal Blueprint. Working with the framework laid out in Part A, you’ll work with checklists, planning tools, formulas, and fill-in-the-blanks templates that guide you step by step through exactly how to shape the details that bring your project to life and create a clear, compelling proposal. Remember, once a session has been released you can watch it any time, on your own schedule.

• Session 2: The Issue, Need, or Opportunity (released June 24)
• Session 3: Impact Outcomes (released July 1)
• Session 4: Work Plan/Partnership (released July 8)
• Session 5: Evaluation (released July 15)
• Session 6: The Proposal Budget (released July  22)
• Session 7: The Summary/The Credibility Statement (released July 29)

Part C: Turning Your Ultimate Grant Proposal Blueprint . . . into an A+ Proposal (Session 8, released August 5)

This final session covers how to transform your Ultimate Grant Proposal Blueprint into an A+ proposal that matches the requirements of any given funder. You’ll cover the elements of good writing; what to think about when making formatting decisions; how to “read” an RFP; things to think about when working with an online proposal submission; and much more.
