This comprehensive, roll-up-your-sleeves two-part series will build on the private sector proposal writing you already do and give you tangible, practical ways to increase your competitiveness in this time of tight budgets.   One-on-one consultations by phone and/or email with the instructor will be available between sessions.  Upon completion, students will have a stronger, more compelling model proposal and package (including the budget, and relevant attachments), and understand how to cultivate long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with targeted funders.  Participants should bring a copy of a proposal on which they are currently working.
