About

In this hands-on workshop, you will learn the main parts of a grant proposal.  You will write several of those parts of the proposal during the class and get feedback on them from experts and peers. You’ll also learn how to find potential funders for your project, and you’ll be shown what those funders look for in a proposal and what they don’t like to see.

Note: This workshop is limited to registrants from organizations in Wisconsin. If you are not representing an organization from Wisconsin, you may want to register for one of our other national workshops.
