Grants Course Offered

Tue, Dec 07, 2010

For the seventh year, Colgate’s Center for Outreach, Volunteerism & Education (COVE), Center for Career Services, Upstate Institute, Office of Corporation, Foundation and Government Relations and Writing & Speaking Center offer a 12-week, non-credit class on grant writing. Hamilton area residents who are involved with local non-profits are invited to participate. 

You may 1) attend class weekly and work with our students in researching and writing a proposal and/or 2) propose a project for class participants to undertake.  If you wish to propose a project, please plan to attend the first class on Jan. 25 to meet with the students assigned to your project.

Weekly sessions will be taught by professional grant writers, foundation officers and others who work with non-profits.  Topics will include: an overview of foundations, non-profits and grant funding; learning how to develop a feasible project idea; identifying potential grant sources; and drafting a well-written grant application (incorporating pertinent data, a program description and a budget).  The class will be held on Tuesdays from 11:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. and runs from Jan. 25 through April 19. There is no class on Tuesday, March 15.

Please contact Krista Saleet at the COVE at 228-6880 or ksaleet@colgate.edu if you are interested in taking this course and would like an application and/or if you would like to submit a “request for grant writing/research assistance” to have your organization’s project considered for a class project.  Applications are due Jan. 4.
