This workshop will provide strategies for grant prospecting activities that make the grant writing process more efficient and effective. Participants will learn new strategies for developing current or future grants programs, creating more efficiency in the grant application process, and better understanding the importance of prospecting as part of the overall grants strategy. This workshop is designed for beginner to intermediate level attendees currently involved in or hoping to do more grants related work.

Workshop #2 - Grant Writing for Success 
This workshop will review common grant application types, the pros and cons of each grant type, and some general information about how to structure and write successful grant proposals to varied audiences (e.g., governmental, foundation, corporate). We will also discuss the Case Statement/Case for Support and its impact on the overall grant writing process. By the end of this workshop participants will have a better idea about the type of grants best suited to meet their organizational needs, writing styles better suited for each grant type (government, foundation, corporate), and ways to streamline the writing process.

Workshop #3 - Strategies for Successful Grant Management 
This workshop will review the important aspects of a quality grant management program. This will include the common requirements to prepare for after securing a grant from various funding sources (government, foundation, corporate). Sample tools will be provided and discussed for their applicability to grant programs. By the end of the workshop participants will have additional strategies for supporting continued grant funding through quality grant management programs along with resources and ideas about different tools and/or strategies to enhance their grant management program. Emphasis will be placed on compliance and strategies that move organizations from compliance to collaborative relationships with funders
