Grant Development and Management

The Grant Development and Management microcredential provides practical training in advanced grant proposal development for professionals, students and community organizations. You will gain hands-on experience reviewing funding announcements, writing compelling need statements, developing SMART objectives, designing project and evaluation plans and preparing draft grant proposals. The course strengthens essential skills in project planning, program design, evaluation, budgeting, and professional communication to help you create competitive, fundable proposals across nonprofit, education, health and community settings.

This microcredential is part of the Grant Writing and Development Achievement Badge. The Achievement Badge recognizes applied competency across interpersonal, organizational, and cultural conflict management contexts and is automatically awarded upon completion of the full pathway.

You will leave prepared to support or lead grant development efforts, contribute to organizational funding strategies, and strengthen the capacity of agencies and institutions seeking external resources to advance programs, services, and community impact.
