Effective Grantsmanship Course
Effective Grantsmanship is a workshop series designed to teach undergraduate students the basics of non-profit fundraising, including strategic planning, grant research and grant writing. Students participate in 22 hours of non-credit workshops, complete grant writing assignments outside of class, and assist community-based organizations with specific grant research or writing projects during the semester.
The Civic Engagement Office developed this program in response both to student interest in grant writing and to community interest in assistance with fundraising. While students gain skills in the area of non-profit fundraising, community partners receive help with research into funding sources or best practices or with writing sections of a grant application.
Effective Grantsmanship is being offered during the Fall 2011 semester by Dr. Margie DuBrow and Dr. Andrea Taylor.
The application deadline for the Fall 2011 semester has passed. For more information about the program, please contact Kelly Sheard via email, ksheard@brynmawr.edu, or by telephone at (610)526-7967.
