This workshop will prepare you to put your best foot forward the next time you apply for a grant. The goal of this course is to help you gain confidence in your fundraising & proposal writing abilities & provide you with a solid road map to begin the process.
CURRICULUM PLAN
The course is taught by Tracie Holder, a filmmaker & consultant, who has raised over $2.4 million for her own projects. In the first part of the class, Tracie will talk about fundraising for your project in general terms & review several key rules that apply no matter where you are looking for funding - whether you're applying for a grant, doing a crowdfunding campaign, or cultivating individual donors. We'll also discuss how best to identify potential funders.
The second part will cover the specific components of a proposal, how to convey ideas visually, & strike a balance between the big, broad brushstroke ideas & small details that make your project come alive on the page. We'll look at excerpts from successful grant applications & discuss what makes an effective proposal.
