Lining up plans in New York? Whether you're a local, new in town, or just passing through, you'll be sure to find something on Eventbrite that piques your interest. San Diego alone is home to thousands of nonprofit organizations ranging from large educational institutions and hospitals to small, start-up agencies. These organizations must compete for funding in an increasingly challenging funding environment. Grant writing is a key component of securing funding for many of San Diego's most dynamic organizations.
The only worthwhile courses are the seminars offered by the granting agencies. Most government agencies have classes so they don't have to deal with poor submissions. Check the dealines, and the classses will be a couple of months before, typically just after the RFPs go out. Try to find some of these, even if they are outside the field you are interested in. Theyw ill give you a good primer on what is expected in a typical grant.
Free Grant Writing Programs
I graduated with a B.A. in Social Sciences and while in school I studied Health and Human Services/Community Mental Health. I have been out of undergrad for three years and I intended on pursuing a Master's degree in social work until recently. I have been re-thinking this decision. I know that in the human service/social work field there is a lot of grant writing done for particular positions to become available. Being that I have been working in the field 2/3 years I realize that a lot of the positions within these organizations are grant funded. I also know that the future of human service professionals depend on grant writing so I think I want to focus on this aspect within the human services field. I was wondering what skills or education is needed to become a competent grant writer and where I can find these classes/education in New York City. I am also wondering if I should still pursue social work.
