Instructor: Kim Tso Course Description From DUNS numbers to 424-CDA-622 Forms, the world of government grants can be very confusing, even to experienced grant writers, but there are ways to navigate the sea of forms and win government grants. This session will cover the strategies necessary for your proposal to stand out above the rest and increase the probability of success. Come learn from an expert and walk away with: • Criteria to help you determine whether it is worth your time and effort to apply for a government grant; • An understanding of how reviewers evaluate grant proposals; • Strategies for developing the strongest proposals you can present; • Techniques for writing proposals that win the most points; and, • Tips for choosing and working with professional grant writers on government proposals. Instructor's Bio Kimberly Tso works as an independent grant writing consultant to nonprofit organizations in Los Angeles, and she is frequently asked to write government grants. Her career began by making government grants with the Commission on National and Community Service, the precursor to AmeriCorps. There she provided technical assistance to government grant seekers and ran review committees for the grant programs. Later, she experienced what it was like to seek grants and developed great empathy for all those who have to write government proposals. Her most recent government application was a proposal to the State of California on behalf of the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health to access $40 million available through the Mental Health Services Act. |
