Tricia and I will be traveling around the State of California to teach my Two Day Grant Writing Retreat at a community college near you in the Spring of 2016. We have already received rave reviews for
this innovative program and I'm excited about offering it again.
As you may know, this retreat is designed to meet the educational needs of
grant writers from city, county, and state agencies as well as non-profits,
K-12 schools, colleges, and universities. You will emerge from this retreat with all - or a large
portion - of your grant proposal written and ready to submit to an appropriate
national, California or local funder.
The retreat will help you:
- Develop a top-notch and quality grant proposal
- Get funders interested in your project
- Identify at least 10 funders for your project
- Discover the best ways to approach funders
- Develop effective budgets that make sense
- Discover the best practices and trends in grant writing
- Learn insider secrets on making great grant proposals
- Save time with grant writing strategies and more

down-to-earth retreats are scheduled as follows:

As you may know, the techniques I teach in my Two Day Grant
Writing Retreat rely on the same principles and techniques I used to recently win $2.5
million in competitive funding for schools in the Coast Community College
District. The Two Day Grant Writing Retreat provides you with inspiration and
motivation along with enough time to allow you to meet your fellow participants
and share your ideas in a supportive, non-judgmental environment.
These retreats are organized, step-by-step, to provide you
with my expert, professional guidance on how to draft each portion of your grant. We will also have time together for you to
read, write, and critique your application during the retreat.
This program includes a comprehensive booklet, sample grant
proposals, as well as PowerPoint presentations illustrating key principles regarding
each portion of your grant application, plus group exercises designed to
give you the experience of thinking about your grant proposal the way funders will think about your grant proposal.
Since these seats are filling up quickly, please place your
order now so that you can be part of this extremely useful educational
event.
Retreat Description
Dr. Drew designed these two-day grant writing retreats so
that participants would be able to emerge with a fully realized grant
proposal. These retreats are organized
to follow the standard elements of a grant proposal including the cover letter,
introduction, background, organizational history, objectives, plan of
operation, evaluation, and budget. In the
process, Dr. Drew will also teach the ideas he uses to improve staff and
individual resumes from the perspective of grant reviewers. Samples of each element of the full grant
proposal will be included with the course package.
Day One: 9:00 to 4:00 p.m.
Topics: Cover letters, introduction, background, and
organizational history.
Day Two: 9:00 to 4:00 p.m.
Topics: Objectives, plan of operation, evaluation, and
budget.
What Others Say About Dr. Drew

Benefits of the Retreat Format
The benefits of these two-day grant writing retreats include my sustained focus and attention on your grant project, detailed
line-by-line instructions regarding grant language, buzz words, and
state-of-the-art practices, along with insight into the mind, emotion, and work
practices of an outstanding scholar, a published author, and an experienced grantseeker.
The best way to learn grant writing is to write a grant. Often
the fastest way to write a grant is to do so with the help of a friend and a
mentor. In these retreats, we can
quickly fix a delay or barrier that might otherwise prevent an agency or an
individual from succeeding at grant writing.
Often, little things can gum up the works of creativity and
success. With the individual
attention you'll receive at one of these retreats, however, your grant will
surpass the most important hurdle - your own expectations.
