Jun'15: Crafting a Competetive LOI (GrantSpace)
http://grantspace.org/training2/training-calendar/online/crafting-a-competetive-loi-2015-06-03-webinar
Wednesday, June 03, 2015 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm ET
$69.00
The ability to write a first-class letter of inquiry is a skill that all proposal writers need in order to remain competitive in today’s funding environment. More and more, funders are asking for a Letter of Inquiry (LOI) as the first step in the proposal process. The LOI is like a mini-proposal — except you only have one-to-three pages (depending on the funder’s guidelines) to get your message across. The foundation will use your LOI to decide whether your project or program is a good funding fit for them, and only then will they invite you to submit a full proposal. Join us to learn how to overcome the challenges of writing LOIs that are both compelling and concise.

Apr'15: The Grant Writing Course as a Real-World Experience to Build Communities (ASIS&T)
Apr 09, 2015 at 1:00 PM EDT
http://www.asis.org/Conferences/webinars/Webinar-4-9-2015-Grant_Writing.html
Patty Wong will introduce the audience to the SJSU LIBR 282 Grant Writing and Alternative Funding Resources course, which she has taught for the School of Information during the past seven years. As a practitioner with hundreds of successful grants, Wong views grant writing as a real time, expandable skill that can build communities while diversifying funding to make the world a better place. During the course, Wong guides students through a grant writing process using a client of their choice.
The process includes preparing an environmental scan, listing funders, exploring grant writing tools, analysis of funder information, grant deconstruction, and writing an actual proposal to benefit a project and the client’s community. The interactive sessions using Collaborate heighten student learning and experience. Many students work in pairs to maximize joint learning. Students build a client profile, establish goals and objectives, utilize an evaluation tool for the project, create a communication and promotion plan, and develop a final proposal integrating funder criteria for future client submission.

Apr'15: To Propose or Not to Propose: That is the Grant Writing Question (4Good)
Wednesday, April 8 (11-12 pm Mountain)
Obtaining grant funding from foundations, corporations, and public agencies is a competitive process. Before beginning a lengthy proposal, applicants must carefully assess their alignment with grantor guidelines, interests, and funding priorities. Otherwise, the endeavor will force an organization to contort itself to meet grant requirements, squandering time and resources while distracting from its true mission. This webinar, led by a grant proposal writer who has successfully obtained millions for nonprofits based on careful evaluation of grantors, will share tips about best practices for reviewing grant guidelines, eligibility requirements, and funding priorities.

Dec: Better Together (?): Leveraging Collaborations to Get Grants (4Good)
Wednesday, Dec. 17 (1-2 pm Mountain)
Grant funders love to support multiple-organization collaborations, which can achieve outcomes that no single organization can match. Sometimes, though, grant applicants are (understandably) less excited about collaboration, due to first-hand experience with unsuccessful or ineffective partnerships. This webinar, led by a veteran grant proposal writer who has coordinated several requests from multiple-organization collaborations, will share tips about how to leverage such relationships to get grants—while avoiding potential pitfalls.
