Grant Writing Basics
K-State Research and Extension
Description
The Grant Writing Basics course is suitable for people who have never written a grant (50% of our students), as well as those who have a lot of experience and want to take a fresh look at their current practices.
More than 3,000 Kansans have been trained and found confidence and skills, resulting in more than $100 million of successful grants for playgrounds, park improvements, walking trails, building restoration, leadership programs, arts, programming, festivals, and other community infrastructure.
Consisting of two (3-hour) online live sessions with many additional resources, this format allows writers to formulate their grant ideas into a grant proposal. Participants are encouraged to bring their grants or grant ideas to share. Time for interaction with other participants is an important aspect of the class; even experienced grant writers pick up tips and are reenergized after consulting with peers.
