Click here to see pictures

Description:

Texas A&M International University along with the State Grants Team will hold a Grants Writing Workshop for Non- Profit Organizations. The Grants Team's proposal writing training workshop is designed to familiarize writers with various aspects of proposal writing: funding research (federal, state, and private), how to plan projects that meet agency goals and constituent needs, and the "how-to's" on writing successful grant proposals. The training format includes lecture and interactive activities. Training is scheduled for two days. This workshop will guide your organization in program planning, proposal development, and to identify appropriate funding for your organization. Most importantly this workshop will assist you in writing a successful proposal.

The seminar will provide participants with the tools to:

  • Locate appropriate funding to fit program needs.
  • Understand proposal writing terminology
  • Facilitate proposal development activities
  • Design a proposal to fit their agency’s needs.
  • Prepare a proposal budget
  • Plan a program evaluation

Those receiving the maximum benefit from the Grants Writing Workshop:

1) have little or no grant writing experience, or

2) have written grant proposals but have no formal training. We encourage those working in all issue areas to attend.

Participants will receive a certificate of completion from the Governor’s Office upon completion of the seminar.

 

Schedule:


This training will be taking place for two days on December 3, 2003 from 8:00a.m. to 3:30pm and on December 4, 2003 from 8:00a.m. to 12:00p.m.

Location: Texas A&M International University

Tuition: $90.00 per person

*******NO REFUNDS AFTER FIRST CLASS DAY*******

 

Participants should be prepared to develop proposals that are based on actual programs during the in-class exercises. Trainees may want to bring notices of available funding, RFPs, or applications related to their organizational needs.


If participants are currently working on a proposal to fund a project, it may be helpful for them to think of a project they would like to develop in the future and bring a rough outline of the project design.
