Alison Paul, GPLH President Emiritus, will be teaching a virtual course this fall through Westchester Community College: “Grant Writing Basics for NonProfit Organizations” will be offered via ZOOM from 6-9 pm on four Thursdays: Oct. 10, 17 24; Nov. 7. Alison has raised millions of dollars over her 30+ year career working with nonprofits and in her grant consulting business. 

Class Description

The course is ideal for those new to grant writing or those who work for a nonprofit and want to increase their skill set. Learn to write a grant to support a nonprofit’s mission and goals.

The course will include understanding how nonprofits raise funds and where grants fit in, the different types of grant proposals, the components of a strong proposal, and how to write a basic grant budget. The course will also provide an overview of how to find grant funders, and how to get started as a grant writer.

The final project is a short letter proposal. We will read all proposals and then, in a friendly, constructive way, participants will vote yay or nay on funding – so you’ll also experience being a grant reviewer.
