Course Description
When you work on grant proposals, do you sometimes say to yourself, "we don't have a new innovative program to pitch; we need help for all the great work that we are already doing!!"  This workshop will provide strategies to obtain general operating support by rethinking how we itemize our budget, reviewing our overall development strategies, and using innovative grant seeking methods.  The workshop is filled with "how to" solutions.  Using lecture, discussion and small group activities, participants will learn the following: how to market your on-going programs in fresh new ways, how to prepare your proposals to enhance funding, and how to track trends in funding priorities.
