Part Two - U.S.G.G. Grant Writing Workshops include 1) collaboration and partnerships, 2) budget forms, 3) budget narratives, 4) managing the grant, 5) evaluation methodology, 6) federal and state proposals, 7) criteria and rating factors, 8) large foundation proposals, 9) how to turn a denial into an award, and 10) grant writing as a career. The second half of U.S.G.G. grant writing seminars in Texas features actual grant writing and peer review. Participants share previous experience in grant writing and bring proposals in to be reviewed. In this session the trainer shares stories of unique and creative proposals that generated over $3 million for K-12 education. With one project that taught 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students to build computers in less than 30 minutes and one after school program that involved students in revitalizing downtown, these stories will help participants learn how to start thinking "outside the box" and develop one-of-a-kind projects for whatever target population they serve.
