LIVE WEBINAR: The Power of the Pen: Social Responsibilities of a Grant Professional

July 15, 2020 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

$25

Proposal narratives must reflect the deep social responsibilities of grant professionals to tell the stories of the target population, not just the story of the organization. Words have power, and grant professionals must use that power carefully and with great sensitivity to the clients who are coming to the organization in their time of need. How does a grant professional examine their writing for cultural bias?

It is a journey we take with our organizations and funders together as we grow in how cultural bias and cultural competency affects the perception of a target population’s needs and the effectiveness of an organization’s services.

This training will focus on the importance of describing the needs and activities and how word choices bring to life this context in a grant proposal and report. We will also talk about how a grant professional can be an agent of change in their organization when it comes to cultural competency.

What you’ll learn:

·      How to use situational and historical contexts

·      The importance of strengths-based descriptions

·      What person-centered language is and how to use it

·      The power of active voice

Price: $25
