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 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
Payment Information
Two ways to pay, using the payment options above. Pay in full, or pay a deposit of one-third with the balance in two monthly payments; for the Certificate alone, that's a $499 deposit and two payments of $499. Access, feedback, and certification are the same either way. Invoices can be issued for purchase orders or organizational payments.
