10-Week Course Schedule:

Every Monday starting August 24, 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.

Part A. Starting Right Where You Are – Right Now (Session 1, released August 24)

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)

With Session 2, you’ll start a deep dive 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 Aug. 31)
• Session 3: Impact Outcomes (released Sept. 7)
• Get-It-Done Week and Q&A (week of Sept. 14)
• Session 4: Work Plan/Partnership (released Sept. 21)
• Session 5: Evaluation (released Sept. 28)
• Session 6: The Proposal Budget (released Oct. 5)
• Get-It-Done Week and Q&A (week of Oct. 12)
• Session 7: The Summary/The Credibility Statement (released Oct. 26)

Part C. Turning Your Ultimate Grant Proposal Blueprint…into an A+ Proposal (Session 8, released October 26)

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.

Live Q&A Call-Ins

As part of your course, you're invited to take part in 3 live conference-call Q&A sessions with Maryn, where you, your team members, and your fellow students can get on-the-ground answers to all your questions about grants, grantseeking, grantmaking…you name it.

These one-hour sessions are exclusively for you and the other nonprofit teams participating in this Blueprint course.
