Virtual Grant Writing 101 Workshop Offered Oct. 13

AMES, Iowa – Nonprofit, government and school district representatives can learn how to turn project ideas into proposals during a virtual Grant Writing 101 workshop Oct. 13.

Iowa State University Extension and Outreach will offer the two-hour online workshop from 10 a.m. to noon.

“Grant writing becomes more manageable when organizations understand how funders evaluate proposals and how each section contributes to the overall case for support,” said Lindsay Henderson, community development specialist with ISU Extension and Outreach. “This workshop breaks the process into practical steps participants can use as they develop their own applications.”

The session covers grant terminology, how to find funding opportunities, how to align a project with funder priorities, and techniques for writing persuasive narratives and budgets. The interactive format includes examples and take-home templates.

Registration is $40 and closes Oct. 11. For more information, visit the Grant Writing Workshops webpage or contact Henderson at lindsayh@iastate.edu.
