What is the course

What is the Grant and Proposal Writing programme?

A practical, outcome-focused programme that helps teams write grant applications and business proposals that meet requirements and persuade decision-makers.

The Grant and Proposal Writing programme equips your team with practical techniques to analyse briefs, plan content, build a persuasive case with evidence, and present objectives, methods and budgets clearly.

Is this right for your team

Is this built for your team?

This course is ideal for many organisations, but may not be the best fit for every situation. Here’s a quick guide to help you decide.

Ideal for teams who:
  • Apply for grants, funding or tenders
  • Write business or project proposals
  • Want higher proposal success rates
  • Value practical techniques over theory
Another course may be better if:
  • You are looking for a public, open-enrolment course
  • You need legal advice on procurement or contracts
  • Your team is not yet ready for this level of training
  • You are primarily looking for consultancy rather than training
