EH 315 Grant Proposal Writing

Rather than simply writing grants, the primary focus of this course is understanding the increasingly complex environment of nonprofit philanthropic funding. Once we begin to understand these complexities, we can turn our attention to the strategies of crafting successful proposals. Students will begin the semester with a preliminary project description that will help them narrow and refine potential ideas for proposals. Students will then pivot to research, and will learn how to conduct research that supports project proposals. Students will learn strategies for successfully interacting with clients and inquiring about funding sources before constructing full proposals. Students will adopt strategies in this course to produce successful writing for a variety of public audiences while using some specific document types as major writing projects.
