Obtaining grants is critical to the success of any nonprofit organization. In this online, three course certificate program, you will learn how to write successful proposals, and how to implement, assess and evaluate grants.
Topics covered include grant writing, grant proposals, the application process, methodology, evaluation, assessment, timelines, performance reporting, direct funding, in-kind contributions, foundations, principal investigators, leadership development officers, forums, conferences, and networking.
This instructor-led program requires students to attend three live online sessions via Zoom and participate online in between class sessions using our campus LMS. Students are required to complete the online readings and exercises. Students will also be required to participate by posting responses to instructor's questions and participating in class discussions utilizing the discussion board. Each class session includes an assignment that will reinforce the material, promote the peer review process, and provide a hands-on writing experience. Two days after you are registered, please log on to myCSUDH.
