How to Write a Grant Budget That Tells (and sells) Your Application’s Story (Recording)
Recorded

This recorded course is brought to you by a GPA approved trainer. Diane Leonard, GPC is one of only 25  GPA approved trainers.

The grant application budget is the application component most reviewers read first yet it is often addressed within the grant application process last. The grant budget by itself tells the complete story of your grant application and needs to be bulletproof and tell the story of your application on its own to ensure you are awarded the grant.

Participating in “How to Write a Grant Budget That Tells (and Sells!) Your Application’s Story” will walk you through, step-by-step, how to write a grant application that tells and sells the story of your proposal and will help get the grant award. Whether working on grant budgets for private foundations or for state and federal agencies, writing a bulletproof grant budget is a critical component of being awarded a grant. 

In this recorded nonprofit training course, we will look at the steps necessary to write a grant budget that regardless of the form provided will tell the complete story of your grant proposal. During the webinar, we will walk through each step of creating a budget. We will look at numerous budget form examples to discuss how the specific form helps tell your application’s story.

Participating in this grant writing course will give you the basic steps necessary to successfully write a consistent and compelling budget that tells your proposal’s story. Learn effective grant writing strategies and become a better grant writer!

What Attendees Said about This Nonprofit Webinar:

“Diane was an excellent facilitator. Her communication was at a perfect speed for attendees to apply training content to practical examples and experiences.”

Vanessa Sampsel, Summa Health

“The grant budgets webinar exceeded my expectations! It spoke to the importance of considering the budget in the application whether the funder requested their own specific details or not. The takeaway - the budget and the narrative work closely together to support the story. Great food for thought going forward!”

Suzanne McShane, Per Scholas

“Budgets for grants are complex and can be very confusing, this webinar helped but budgets for grants in perspective.  I would recommend this webinar to any grant professional or persons that have to work with developing budgets for a grant application.”

Kendra Anderson

“This webinar was one of the most useful I've attended related to specific aspects of grant writing. The grant budget is an area I still am finding a comfort level with, and the information provided plus the way Diane presented the content rang very familiar with the day-to-day hurdles and stress points I experience. I love grant writing, but it's not for everyone! This session definitely cleared up some of my "foggier" areas of understanding.”

Neely Monemi, Inter-Faith Food Shuttle
