The Funding Exchange offers a webinar version of our popular Grantwriting Overview class. This webinar is designed for new or moderately-experienced grantwriters who prefer attend the Grantwriting Overview training from their own office.
The webinar series is an overview of the world of grants, introducing students to the best places to look for the types of funds they are seeking; getting organized to streamline the grantwriting process; the basics of writing a grant proposal; and familiarlizing students with the terminology and structure of the field of grantseeking. Handouts and a copy of the presentation slides will be provided to students.
The Grantwriting Overview Webinar will be offered twice in 2010:
June 9/10 and 15/16, 2010 from 1 to 4 p.m. Eastern time
October 7/8 and 13/14, 2010 from 1 to 4 p.m. Eastern time
The training will be delivered in four two-hour webinar sessions that consist of a live PowerPoint followed by an open Q&A session of up to one additional hour or as long as there are questions. Handouts will be provided to support the material being taught. Sharon Charnell Gherman, President/CEO of The Funding Exchange, will teach this workshop.

We’re Funded! Transitioning into the Project
Technical Requirements: To participate in a webinar, you’ll need a computer with an Internet connection and access to a telephone (a speakerphone or headset works best because of the long time periods you’ll be connected). Audio for the webinar is received over a toll-free number. You’ll receive specific instructions for connecting to the webinar with your registration confirmation.
Not sure you’d be able to connect? To test your connection, go to ReadyTalk and click on “Test Your Computer” in the upper left-hand box.
Use of the Funding Exchange’s grantwriting handbook, The Art of Grantwriting: Communicating Your Vision to Funders, is not required or included in the class fee. However, you may purchase it for $50 (a 50% discount over the retail price of $99) at the time of registration. Handouts and a copy of the presentation slides will be emailed to students before each class.
This is not a hands-on class, but an introductory or refresher overview. If you prefer to practice on an actual proposal as you’re learning, you’ll want to register for our face-to-face 5-day Grantwriting Intensive. The Grantwriting Intensive is offered in Fairbanks, Alaska and in communities across the U.S. on a sponsorship or contract basis. This is a great option for a staff retreat, conference workshop, or Board of Directors training! Contact us for details.
