This course is brought to you by a Grant Professional Certified (1 of less than 400 in the world). Diane H. Leonard, GPC is also 1 of only 25 GPA approved trainers.
In this live, interactive nonprofit webinar we will teach you how to go beyond putting together a grant application. We will teach you how to customize each proposal to include a compelling need statement and related SMART objectives to engage the grantmakers reading your proposals.

- How to use the GPC competencies as a benchmark in advancing your career, specifically:
- Knowledge of strategies for effective program and project design and development
- Knowledge of how to craft, construct, and submit an effective grant application; and
- Knowledge of nationally recognized standards of ethical practice by grant developers.
- How to write a compelling need statement;
- How to write SMART objectives;

As a grant professional with at least a few grant applications funded, you have seen a variety of grant guidelines and requirements. You have seen the difference that grants make in your community. Yet you are also always working to build your skills and increase the competitiveness of each application you submit for your employer or your clients.
Whether you are considering pursuing the formal credential during your career or not, the review of these advanced tactics for each competency will help elevate your work as a grant professional. Using the competencies of the Grant Professionals Credential (GPC), we will walk through how to utilize the intermediate-level skills for the writing-related competencies in your work.
We will focus heavily on compelling need statements, writing strong SMART objectives, and telling your organization’s story in this live, interactive webinar.

"Diane offers clear and concise information applicable to real-world situations."
Jeffrey Cornett, Muskingum County Library System
“It was an insightful webinar that is great for intermediates because it goes beyond just the basic components of grants (which many workshops cover) to discuss things like theories of change, needs assessment tools, and logic models - all of which can often be overlooked, yet make a huge difference in the effectiveness of a grant proposal. Thanks for the insight.”
