Stand Out in a Crowded Field
Only one in four grant writers hold a certification. Earning yours is one of the fastest ways to show hiring managers and clients you have the skills to back up the title.
Course Description
The Spark the Fire Certificate in Grant Writing is a comprehensive, step-by-step course that gives you the skills, strategies, and tools to confidently find grant opportunities, write compelling proposals, and build relationships with grantmakers. Whether you're new to the field or sharpening skills you already have, you'll get practical training rooted in real-world scenarios, not theory. You'll build a solid foundation in finding and researching grant opportunities, funder alignment, narrative development, budgets, evaluation plans, and compliance, plus personalized feedback at every step to help you grow.
Course Format
24 hours of instruction you can move through on your own timeline
Peer review, support, and discussions with others learning alongside you
Weekly group coaching and coworking sessions every Tuesday at 11 am PT, 12 pm MT, 1 pm CT, 2 pm ET

Quick help from the instructor and your peers in our 24/7 chat
No deadlines to complete the course
You'll receive individualized feedback from your instructor on every key assignment, so you build real skill and real confidence.
Course Capstone Projects
To earn the certification, you'll complete the following projects, each one designed to set you up for long-term success:
A grant proposal for the project of your choice. You pick the organization and project, and everyone writes to the same boilerplate application form rather than one funder's specific questions, so you master the core questions that show up in nearly every proposal.
A logic model using the Spark the Fire framework
A project budget
A prospect list and grants calendar
