Why You Should Become a Certified Grant Writer

Early in your grant writing career, it’s easy to waste months trying to master basic skills to land grant funds. Despite all of your efforts, you’ll still be lost because:

  • You lack a formal background in grant writing
  • Only found courses and boot camps that were either too jargon-filled or lacked sufficient depth
  • Don’t have the right resources on how to stand out as a candidate in grant writing interviews

To help you become a grant writing professional, we went down the rabbit hole to understand what it takes to build a successful grant proposal. We interviewed thought leaders within the industry, learned the behaviors and habits of successful grant writers, and documented our own experiences writing grants.

The Grant Writing Certification Course is here so you don’t have to go through the painful experience.

The grant writing course is for aspiring writers and writers who want to improve their grant writing skills. It teaches the fundamentals of grant writing, how to create successful grant proposals, and how to stand out in the recruiting process.

What You’ll Get From This Course

  • Over 70+ lectures, 10+ downloadable grant writing templates, and exclusive interviews (more added over time) with grant writing professionals in the industry
  • Instructor feedback on your grant proposal
  • Downloadable templates used by actual grant writers on the job
  • Learn the process of answering the most popular grant writing interview questions
  • Earn a certificate upon finishing the course

Bonus Content:
