About this Program


Grants can be an important source of support for projects or programs that are designed to meet community needs. Because grants don’t need to be paid back, this funding can be especially valuable to nonprofits, research institutions and social-impact businesses — and the competition can be fierce. Successfully winning a public, private or donor-funded grant starts with a compelling, research-based application.

In this one-course specialization, you’ll get in-depth experience with grant writing. You’ll learn to use research, storytelling and measurable objectives to align your organization with funders. You’ll also understand the post-award grant process, including how to track progress and follow up with grantmakers, win or lose. Plus, you’ll get insights from national fundraising experts about strategies and emerging trends in grantmaking.
