Grant Writing Basics for Kansas Food Producers
K-State Research & Extension is offering a Grant Writing Basics course consisting of two (3-hour) online live sessions with many additional resources. We’ve organized a two-part series specifically for our food system partners, farmers, and food business owners interested in grant writing. Whether you’ve never written a grant proposal before and have no idea where to start, or for those who have experience but are looking for ways to improve your approach, we encourage you to attend. Participants are encouraged to bring their grants or grant ideas to share.
February 10-11, 2025: This class is only available to those producing Kansas foods or helping write grants for local food access.
Topics include:
- Sources of data for community needs
- Where to find grants
- Elements of a great grant proposal
- Practicing the grant elements: Problem, Outcome, Activity, Evaluation, Budget
