Grant Writing Pilot- 2nd Session Has Been Added

Submitted by Nancy Daniels

Grant Writing Pilot

Thanks to a great response, we've opened a second pilot session of the Online Grant Writing Pilot Course for Extension agents. The classes will be offered Thursdays, January 14 and 21, 2-5 p.m. The cost to participate in the pilot is $15. To enroll or be put on the waiting list: https://tinyurl.com/y26pbzl5.

The course will be limited to 24 people; if the response requires more classes, we'll set up more.

Future grant writing workshops will cost $60 per person, for agents and community members.

Besides teaching you to write grants, the desired outcomes from this workshop are to test the new format, get your input for improvement, and engage your partnership to host workshops in your communities. The waiting list from the 1st class has been offered the opportunity to enroll first.

Background: In 2016 before we trained more than 1700 local community members to write grants, K-State Research and Extension agents were the first people we trained. Thanks to your support, the grant writers who responded to a survey in the first year after they attended, have written grants of $32.4 million with $18.4 million brought into your communities. Many of you have hosted more than one workshop.
