Become a Better Grant Writer
Training and Courses That Meet You Where You Are to Take You Farther in Your Career
When You Know Better You Do Better
As Maya Angelou wrote, “When you know better you do better.” In the case of grantwriting, the more knowledge you have, the better your grants and your chances of your grant winning funding. The best way for grant professionals and nonprofit professionals to grow their grantsmanship skills is through relevant professional development and coaching delivered by experts that match your needs and long-term goals.
A Comprehensive Curriculum
Our trainings align to the Grant Professionals Certification Institute’s (GPCI) competencies and skills. They address multiple skills within a competency, interrelated skills across competencies, or a specific skill within a competency in great detail. All courses:
- Are eligible for CEUs
- Align with GPCI competencies
- Are led by nationally recognized GPA-approved trainers

Our approach lets you find the perfect professional development plan for you whether you are new to grants, expanding your knowledge so you can earn a promotion or take the GPC exam, or a 15-year veteran seeking targeted nuggets of professional development to complement your broad success.
Our Most Popular Grantwriting Professional Development Courses
RESEARCHING GRANT OPPORTUNITIES
This session will teach you where to find appropriate corporate and family foundation resources and what key details to collect whether you are using a free or subscription database. Techniques will include keyword searches in services, population, geography, and type of funding.
PURSUING FEDERAL GRANTS
Applying for federal grants can – to put it mildly – be daunting. In this training, we make it easier by guiding participants through the major components, the key similarities and differences between foundation and federal grants, how policy can impact the timelines of federal grant opportunities and deadlines, and more!
NEEDS ASSESSMENTS & STRATEGIC PLANS
Needs assessments help the writer use facts to describe the challenges experienced by the target population of the grant proposal. Strategic plans are the plans of how organizations will respond to the challenges experienced by their community. Knowing how to use them in your grant proposal is critical.
