What you'll learn:

How To Get The Google Grant For Your Nonprofit In 2023

Requirements:

• You must be a registered charitable organization located in one of the 68 eligible countries to apply for the Google Grant.
• Those not eligible include; government entities or organizations, hospitals or healthcare organizations and schools, academic institutions, or universities.

Description:

Many nonprofits are worried about tax law changes affecting donations. To be competitive, you need to diversify and build your skills for generating revenue.

This course is designed for nonprofits that want to not only get better at writing successful proposals, but also get better at the process of researching and applying for foundation and government grants. The course is also for grant writers or freelance writers who want to offer their clients a more comprehensive approach to grant writing.

When you’re done with the course, you’ll have assembled one of the most powerful tools a nonprofit can have – a proposal boilerplate.

The boilerplate contains about 75% of the language you’ll need as you’re drafting proposals. Working on the boilerplate outside the pressure of a proposal deadline will result in language that is better-written, as well as more thoughtful and strategic. It will also set you up to be uber-efficient as you’re writing proposals in the future.

Throughout this course we'll be using real examples and real language, and each lesson includes a transcript, so you can kickstart your own boilerplate.

You’ll also be given strategies and tips for finding foundation and government grants, including:

• Identifying five relevant local foundations
  
• Gathering information about grants at the local, state, and federal level for you to start pursuing

Finally, we’ll be walking through key strategies for completing solid applications, including:

• Letters of intent
  
• The budget
  
• Meeting a funder’s expectations

Each video session includes two downloads: a PDF of the slides in handout format, and a Word document transcript.

Who this course is for:

• Nonprofits, particularly small and new nonprofits, or those struggling to develop funder relationships
• Freelance writers looking to add grant writing to their skillset

Course Details:

• 1.5 hours on-demand video
• 35 downloadable resources
