Basic Online Course: A quick and easy way to learn the basics of grant writing with a 45 minute PowerPoint narrated course that includes training exercises to give the novice grant writer actual experience in writing a proposal. The course includes sample grant proposals, letters of inquiry, and lists of funding sources. While the process for writing state and federal grant proposals is very similar to foundation and corporate grant writing, this basic course only covers grant writing for foundation and corporate grants. The price of this package purchased as a stand-alone is $200.

Grant Writing Workbook: Contains over 250 pages of Sample Winning Grant Proposals, Sample Letters of Support, Sample Letters of Collaboration, Sample Letter Proposals, Lists of Funding Resources, and Training Slides Two Day Grant Writing Workshop. This product is not available for purchase without membership or training programs.

Monthly Newsletter: Contains articles written by professional grant writers on tips and tools related to successful grant writing, funder relations, grant management, etc. as well as advice on how to improve problem statements, budgets, evaluations, and other key components of successful proposal writing. Checklists will be offered each month for prospect research, grant readiness, funder relations, collaborations with other agencies, and various other components of successful proposal development. Each newsletter will provide information on recommended books, websites, articles, upcoming trainings, seminars, fundraising opportunities, and interviews with professional grant writers.

Foundation Search: USGG membership gets you a free online demonstration of Metasoft's new Global Search to identify prospective funders. Think Globally! You can search over 4 million documents of funder information from the US, Canada, the UK and Australia. Located on the main menu bars of both FoundationSearch and Big Online, this new full text search gives you the power to search the world for funders with one single click! With Global Search, you can now conduct keyword searches in all of the resources of FoundationSearch and BIG Online. This means access to over 4 million records from over 122,000 funders in one search.

Education Grant Opportunities: Information on education funding opportunities that will help teachers and schools. This feature provides teachers, schools and related organizations with free access to up-to-date announcements of corporate, foundation, state and federal education funding opportunities—and only education. In addition, if you’re like a lot of districts out there that don’t have someone on staff who can write a winning proposal, you can turn to our Grant Writers’ Directory. It’s the perfect solution for schools that have neither the staff nor the experience required to write successful proposals.

Grant Writing Competitions: Members will be invited to share winning grant proposals to be entered into quarterly competitions. Winning proposals will be featured on the USGG website (with permission from the writer and agency). The grant writer’s biographical summary will be posted on USGG’s website (with permission) to help generate potential clients for the writer. This opportunity could allow you to develop a grant consulting business of your own!
