Beginner’s Guide to Grant Writing is a 2-day in-person workshop hosted by Purdue Extension in counties around the state. At the end of Day 1, participants will have a proposal outline and all the resources they need to develop it into a full proposal. On Day 2, participants practice reviewing a grant proposal, interacting with a funder, and searching for funding.

Workshop participants across the state have leveraged millions of dollars in grant funding to improve the quality of life. Thanks to their success, Indiana is home to new community playgrounds, expanded social services, inclusive arts initiatives, natural resource enhancements, renovated historical buildings, innovative educational offerings, and so much more! Our trainers can also provide customized training to existing groups with a shared focus.

Testimonials

• “The program was extremely beneficial. The staff were professional and helpful. They are available even after the program for questions or brainstorming. Great for beginners and good as a refresher program.”
• “The Beginner’s Guide to Grant Writing workshop was one of the better workshops I’ve ever attended. I’ve always felt that I was a strong grant writer, but this training helped me see grant writing from the perspective of many other organizations and fields rather than just my own. One of the key components I took from this training was the ability to identify short-, medium-, and long-term goals that an organization should have when pursuing and securing grant funding.”
