U.S. Government Grants offers two-day Grant Writing Courses around the country that have been described as “awesome, entertaining, educational, fantastic, powerful, and practical.”  Beginning grant writers, as well as seasoned professionals, claim these courses are the best they have ever attended. Most participants say U.S.G.G. Grant Writing Courses are far better than ones that cost two-three times more – and that they are the only courses that actually teach you how to write good grant proposals. 

U.S.G.G. Grant Writing Courses are unique, unlike any other in the country.  Most college, university and association courses cover things such as the history of philanthropy, terminology, fundraising ethics, strategic planning, volunteers and staffing, planned giving, and facts and figures of who gives and why.  In contrast, U.S.G.G. Grant Writing Courses provide the “nuts and bolts” for putting together a successful grant proposal.  We focus more on how to write a good problem statement – the area in which most grant proposals fail – and how to have 90% of your grant proposal done before you begin.  Specific ideas for wording the problem statement, goal statement, project objectives, and evaluation are provided. Students learn exactly how to write diversity statements, capability statements, and statements on how the project will affect social change. Methodologies for evaluating grant proposals, along with tools for budgeting, and increasing community collaboration are just a few of the “highly acclaimed” grant writing course contents.
