Writing persuasive proposals is a key skill for people working in consulting, for students in academia, for non-profit organizations seeking funding, and for Indigenous agencies looking to do some work on their land. Winning Proposals is a MicroCourse dedicated to helping those responsible for responding to requests for proposals or grant applications achieve greater success in their efforts. Successful proposal writing requires understanding the value of persuasion, knowing what to include to be competitive, appreciating what not to include, and striking the correct tone to inspire confidence by the reader. In this course, the instructor(s) will share tactics and techniques they have learned over decades of writing proposals and grant applications, and strategies and considerations that will allow your writing to rise to the top of the candidate pile.
Course will be 4 hours long.
“I must admit, I was sure that the “Winning Proposals – Writing to Secure Funding” course was going to be dry and boring, but Sean held my attention the entire time! He had such great tips, and I loved the way that he engaged with the class without putting pressure on anyone. I came away from the course with a much better understanding of why and how to write proposals.”

“It flowed nicely. I really liked building a proposal as we went. I have already recommended this course and NRTG to other people I have worked with in the past.”
