About the Series

This is it: everything you need to dramatically uplevel your grantseeking success– no matter where you're starting out– all in one at-your-own-pace, on-your-own-schedule super-affordable 8-session online course.

In this all-in-one course, presenter Maryn Boess brings more than 20 years of deep experience as a grant writer, grant program developer, grant consultant, coach, speaker, author, and even a grantmaker to share with you a powerful "inside-up" framework for constructing a grant proposal that is clear, compelling, and irrisistible to grantmakers. The Ultimate Grant Proposal Blueprint offers a complee, practical, hands-on, step-by-step approach to corporate, foundation, and government grant-building for beginners and veterans alike.

In eight fast-paced, information-rich, on-demand sessions totalling about 16 hours, participants will:

• Learn how to build a soid, fundable proposal from the inside out and the bottom up.
• Work with a unique set of tried-and-tested planning tools, worksheets, roadmaps, checklists, and step-by-step, fill-in-the-blank templates to make your proposals clear, concise, complete, coherent, and compelling.
• Learn literally hundreds of "insider tips" from grantmakers and successful grantseeking organizations that you can put to work for your organization right away.
• Learn how to organize the details of your work in a way guaranteed to take you to the next level of grantseeking success– no matter where you're starting out.

This course includes:

• 8 weekly video training sessions of about 2 hours each that you can view at any time, on your own schedule and as often as you like.
• Detailed session-by-session printable workbooks and resource guides to follow along with as you watch the videos, and to keep at your desktop in the months ahead as an at-your-fingertips reference.
• Nearly 100 planning guides, checklists, and step-by-step, fill-in-the-blanks templates to help you capture, organizize, and articulate your good thinking– in digital form– that you can save to your computer and use again… and again… and again.
• Real-life samples of "what works"– what wins grants– that you can borrow virtually word-for-word for your own projects.
• 3 live group Q&A sessions with Maryn, where you can get on-the-ground answers to all your questions about grants, grantseeking, grantmaking… you name it!
• Ongoing personal support, via "Ask Anything" Facebook community page, to help make sure you're on track for a successful experience inside the course and beyond.
