Non-profit finding proposals
I am currently teaching the basics of writing funding proposals for non-profit social service agencies. This is a 4th semester course and as such, there has been a great deal of build up to this project. If I try to use this analogy, there is a great deal of complex learning needed to be able to do consider such a task. These are listed in a order that I think is reasonably chronologic to skills development. Although 1-6 is ideally covered in high school and the first 3 semesters of college, I need to remember that I can teach 7 and 8 without 1-6. 1-6 can also be broken down in to many smaller levels of knowledge and skill development.
- Professional writing skills (this can be parsed down to numerous details)
- Budgeting skills
- Computer literacy (work, excel, filling form templates, creating accounts)
- Research skills (academic literature, grey sources, funding sources)
- Knowledge of community services (general and specific)
- Knowledge of community programs (general and specific)
- Industry standards for proposals (format, deadlines, contents etc.. )
- Writing a non-profit funding proposal.
