Certificate in Grant Writing Course

April 7 through June 7, 2026

If you are finding that grant proposals that used to be competitive are no longer getting funded, you are not alone. The funding landscape has shifted, and many organizations are competing for the same dollars with higher expectations from funders.

This course is designed to help you adapt with clarity and confidence.

The Certificate in Grant Writing is a comprehensive professional development course that walks you through the full grant writing process, from prospect research and readiness to proposal development, budgets, and grants management. You will learn how to strengthen your strategy, sharpen your narrative, and position your work more clearly in an increasingly competitive environment.

This course is a good fit if you are responsible for writing or overseeing grants and you want to feel more grounded in your approach. You may be newer to grant writing, or you may have experience and simply need updated tools, structure, and perspective to respond to today’s funding realities.

You will participate in weekly, one-hour, live, interactive Zoom meetings on Tuesdays. These sessions include instruction, examples, and time for questions and discussion. Zoom login information is provided after you enroll.

You may choose from two weekly meeting times:

AFTERNOON SESSION
10–11 HT | 11–12 AKT | 12–1 PT | 1–2 MT | 2–3 CT | 3–4 ET

EVENING SESSION
3–4 HT | 4–5 AKT | 5–6 PT | 6–7 MT | 7–8 CT | 8–9 ET

By the end of this course, you will have a clearer grant writing strategy, stronger proposal components, and the confidence that comes from understanding not just how to write grants, but why certain approaches work in today’s funding landscape.
