Summary - Beginner's Guide to Grant Writing Workshop

The two-day Beginner's Guide to Grant Writing program is a great skill-builder for the beginner or intermediate grant writer. Whatever your skill level, come with an idea and be ready to write. At the end of Day One, you will have a proposal outline and all the resources you need to expand your outline into a full proposal. Return on Day Two (November 6, 2026, 9:00 am - 4:30 pm CT) with your full proposal, and we will put you into the role of a reviewer, teach you strategies for finding funding, and provide you with an opportunity to polish your proposal and send it in for a strong professional review. Whether your project is big or small, this workshop will give you the information you need to submit proposals confidently. The cost of the 2-day workshop is $225.00 and includes lunch and materials on both days. You will receive the manual on Day One of the workshop. The workshop will be held at Bellaboo's Play and Discovery Center, 2800 Colorado Street, Lake Station, IN 46405.
