Grant Writing & Management for Nonprofits

CERTIFICATE PROGRAM

Craft. Submit. Succeed.

The Grant Writing & Management for Nonprofits Certificate equips participants with practical, hands-on training to research funding opportunities, write persuasive proposals, develop compliant budgets, and manage awarded grants. Over six sessions, you’ll create a complete mock grant proposal, gaining tools and real-world experience to strengthen your nonprofit’s financial sustainability.

Why Take This Course?

6 Weeks | 26 Hours | In-Person with Online Resources
High Demand for Grant Funding: In the U.S., charitable giving reached $557 billion in 2023, with foundations providing over $105 billion in grants—a 2.6% increase from the previous year.
Competitive Edge: Only about 1 in 5 grant proposals are funded nationally. Strong writing and compliance skills dramatically improve success rates.
Capacity Building: Effective grant management reduces audit risks and increases funder confidence, opening doors to larger, multi-year awards.

Who Should Attend?

This course is designed for nonprofit leaders, staff, and volunteers seeking to strengthen their grant writing, compliance, and fundraising skills. It’s ideal for anyone looking to secure funding and build long-term sustainability for their organization.
