How to Design a Compelling Grant Proposal and Presentation
January 31, 2023
1 PM – 3 PM
Online Event
As you have probably discovered, the world of applying for grants is highly competitive. Funding agencies must make the tough decisions about what applications to accept and what applications to deny. Sometimes, an application is denied because the project is weak. Other times the project is worthy, but it isn’t communicated to the grant reviewers in an effective way. What critical items must be included for your proposal to be taken seriously? How do you design a project presentation that will wow the funding agency? What are some of the biggest ongoing frustrations of review teams? Using practical advice and insights gained from funding agencies and other experts, Cathy Angell will help you create a grant proposal and presentation that clearly communicates the story behind your project in an engaging and visually-pleasing way.
