Boise State College of Applied Technology Offers Grant Writing Training
 

The Selland College of Applied Technology at Boise State University will present a training program for grant writers July 11-15. Those interested are encouraged to register early; participation is limited to 30 people.
 

The session will help equip grant writers with the tools and knowledge to be more successful at capturing grant money for their organizations. Anyone who has management, fund-raising or grant-related responsibilities is encouraged to attend. The workshop is geared to both novice and advanced grant seekers. Participants will learn:

• How to identify specific grant-making foundations that support programs even in tough economic times.
 

• How to convince local companies to support an organization with money, goods or services.
 

• How to connect with the decision-makers who dispense millions of dollars in state and federal grants every year.
 

The Grantsmanship Center Inc. (TGCI) will present the training. The organization has trained tens of thousands of nonprofit and government personnel since it began in 1972. The program takes participants step-by-step through the stages of writing a grant proposal and allows participants to draft a proposal for their organization during the workshop.
 

Upon completion, graduates receive a one-year TGCI Membership, which affords follow-up proposal review and access to TGCI’s funding databases. All TGCI Membership services are included in the program tuition of $825. A limited number of half-tuition scholarships are available to agencies with annual budgets of less than $300,000.
 

To register for the workshop or to apply for a scholarship, call the TGCI registrar at (800) 421-9512, or enroll online at www.tgci.com.
