This nonprofit course is brought to you by a GPA-approved trainer. Diane H. Leonard, GPC is 1 of only 25 GPA-approved trainers.
Do you put yourself in your grantmaker’s shoes when writing your application? Do you think about their knowledge and assumptions when drafting your proposal? You have to think like a grantmaker to impress them, and “knock their socks off” with your proposal. Presenter, Diane H. Leonard, *was* a grantmaker, so you’ll want to trust her insider perspective.
Don’t miss “How to Knock Your Grantmaker’s Socks Off” so you learn how to write a grant application that will engage your grantmaker *every* time and knock their socks off with your grant application.
In this recorded webinar, we will look at the steps necessary to write a narrative grant application that not only engages your reviewers but compels them to want to advocate for you to receive the grant award. You don’t want your grant application to only be “fundable,” but rather you want it to be the top judged/top scored proposal so you are the most competitive proposal being reviewed. We will go step by step through how to achieve this in each portion of your process from identifying a funding opportunity to clicking submit for an application.
Participating in “How to Knock Your Grantmaker’s Socks Off” will give you the critical steps to follow for implementing a “mock review” in your organization to have your editing process mimic that of a grant review process so you start to think like a grantmaker. You’ll see how the mock review process dramatically changes and increases the competitiveness of each application.

“This is my 3rd or 4th webinar with Diane Leonard. My first were when I was brand new to grantseeking. Since then, I've had the opportunity to encounter so many of the situations she describes (especially what NOT to do), and her guidance is absolutely spot-on. Really looking forward to making use of the tools I got in this webinar.”

"I am just diving back into the grant writing space after a 5+ year hiatus. This webinar was excellent as a refresher as well as helping me get 'brain-reengaged,' excited and gain a greater understanding of grant writing best practices about which I had not previously known."
Jill Farmer, Save the Storks®
“Diane did a great job conveying tips for successful grant writing. Her presentation was engaging and provided great examples of the topics she covered. I really found the discussion on using infographics and work plans or logic models directly in the grant narratives to make it easier for reader to understand and break up the narrative. The idea of a mock review was also interesting to consider incorporating. Overall, time well spent.”
Beth Markham, The Cycle Effect
