Course 2 - Strengthening your Core Skills

Description

********** ONE OF THE TOP SKILLS YOU'LL NEED TO SUCCEED IN THE NON-PROFIT SECTOR **********

Welcome to my 2nd Course in a series of lectures on Grants Acquisition and Compliance that will prepare you to be a strong candidate for recruitment by a non-profit - or - to get that much sought-after promotion you were looking for.

You're going to learn everything there is to know about restricted grant acquisition and new business development, from a pro who has more than 20 years of grants experience and successfully won an average of $21 million dollars per year through grants fund-raising.  These courses are especially useful in the context of profit & non-profit organizations working in international aid and development, a sector including thousands of organizations that work around the world.  However, the principles of acquiring grants are universal.  Whether you're in the private or non-profit sector, you'll be able to use the principles and recommendations in our courses.

In this course series, we're going to turn you into a highly attractive candidate for recruitment or promotion by non-profit organizations and, it will increase your chance of landing that high-paid job.

******In this second course, we will continue to explore some critical building blocks of being an expert grant-seeker.  The course will take you through the important components of developing an effective communications strategy that includes all stakeholders and builds consensus and teams.  Then, we look at the most effective way of building your budget - exploring timelines, staff involvement and elements of a strong budget.  We also look at the pitfalls that often cause organizations to fail in their proposal submissions.  Finally, we examine the critical processes involved in grants - from end to end.

These courses are designed to lead you on a capacity-building adventure, with the objective of training you on how to prepare your own Grants Strategy - without having to hire an expensive consultant. And with the completion of each course, you're welcome to take advantage of my free 30-minute offer to speak to me directly, to get individualized guidance.  Visit The Grants House and or send a comment here.

And don't forget - look for the other courses after completing this one.  They are set up to be taken consecutively and to gradually build your capacity to become an expert in this sector.  It is my belief that by following the guidelines in these lectures, you can become a highly successful grants fund-raiser and become indispensable to the non-profit sector, where fund-raising is becoming more and more important.  It is one of the most sought-after skillsets in the non-profit sector and if you have your sites set on a career in that industry, then you're going to want to learn everything you can about grants acquisition and put that front and centre on your resume.  In these courses, we start with the basics and work our way up to the more complex aspects of grant fund-raising.

These skills are being passed along from one of the industries leading grants specialists, with years of experience and success in raising funds from institutional donors, multi-laterals, foundations and private donors alike.
