We cover the types of Grants that are available, and for which needs. We review several resources (international) that list available Grants, and learn how to find even more Grants.
The course is hands-on and process oriented. Those taking the course will have the tools and preparation to apply for a number of grants.
The legal and ethical information applies to Canada and the United States, but also has applications internationally.

Not only did I learn A LOT about Grant Writing 101, but also I learned about so many potential resources for funding, above and beyond grants. There are many gems in here that are obviously from a learned Writer. And I look forward to my first grant writing opportunities. Thank you!

The information in this course is very relevant. I have learned a lot from it. Even if the content is not very explicit sometimes, it opens a new window for you to want more information about the subject.

I'm a newbie, looking to start a non-profit organization. The goal is to help young adults learn to think critically and become entrepreneurs. I feel that the information I learn here will also be useful to others.

This course is a good match for me and has good info, it's just that the presentation is so static and dull that my attention wanders.

well defined topic of operational grants and project grants. Understanding that some funders would prefer to partially supplement a project and require community by-in for the balance of the project cost and labor.

I found Ken Goldstein's class, of the same topic, to be more informative. But I did have one or two take-aways.

It was okay, lots of general, "soft" information and not much else. Would've been more valuable seeing the actual grant process or even just a successful letter. Little info for newcomers looking to start a career. Not a bad overview of the world of grants but I was hoping for something in depth.

I was appointed a Trustee for a non profit organization and we need to submit grants. This was the 1st course I took on the Grant Submittal process and it was very well organized. Good overview of the process.

A bit monotone, the slides could be more engaging, and I don't know where the information was that the educator is out of Canada.
