Grant Writing

NWTC is pleased to partner with the Center for Innovative Change, LLC to offer its successful grant writing course.

The 4 C’s of Grant Writing (2-day course)

To be successful in their efforts, grant writers and planners must present realistic and achievable strategies that align with the available time and funding. The two-day course aims to develop successful grant writers who are prepared to move smoothly from writing to implementing programs and projects. Using a variety of exercises and activities, participants will be able to:

1. Create search terms that help find relevant federal, state, and private funding opportunities
2. Apply updated writing skills to program and budget narratives
3. Organize documents efficiently so funding agencies can easily review your application
4. Look at applications strategically through the eyes of the reviewer
5. Make meaningful connections between the problem statement, proposed strategies, capabilities, and budget to align the project and the resources with the anticipated impact and outcomes
6. Create strategies based on SMART objectives (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely) as well as a clear vision for the future
