Grant Writing & Other Fundraising Strategies by Professor Jesse Lutabingwa

The course is designed for both intending and practicing social entrepreneurs and non-profit executives. It is focused on developing effective grant writing skills essential to the acquisition of competitive funding from government agencies and private foundations. Writing a successful grant proposal is not a superpower and consists of amenable skills to scientific research and experiential learning. It requires basic know-how, subject knowledge, writing proficiency, basic research skills, creativity, organizational ability, patience, and, sadly, luck. Fortunately, you would have created a full grant proposal ready for submission by the end of this instructional course.

The course is facilitated by Professor Jesse Lutabingwa (Associate Vice Chancellor, Office of International Education and Development, Appalachian State University, Boone, North Carolina, U.S.A)
