Gold for Everyone! Open the Vault of Foundation Grants for Your Non-Profit

For the first time in a decade, I will be teaching a rare two-day session of Grant Writing Fundamentals. This is a fleeting opportunity to learn the most important things I know about grant writing during a weekday, online course. (Normally, I only teach on Saturdays.) 

This new, updated, Zoom class will be offered from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM Pacific Standard Time on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, July 7 and 8, 2021.

For students in the Philippines who are scheduled to participate in this class, the Zoom meeting will run from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM Philippine Time on Thursday and Friday mornings, July 8 and 9, 2021.

Special Schedule for Students from the Philippines

Why the change? I am teaching the class on two weekdays as a favor for a dear friend, Dr. Rufino L. Macagba Jr., the chairman, and president of Lorma Medical Center and Lorma Colleges in the Philippines. To provide my course in an accessible manner, I had to split it in half and teach it over two weekdays. 

For those who know best, you will undoubtedly be relieved to learn that I have finally found a way to teach students in the morning while avoiding the morning myself. 

The pricing for the Zoom class is about the same as what is charged by the community colleges which offer Grant Writing Fundamentals in California. The course fee is $70 and there is a materials fee of $45. The total price is $115. The materials fee includes your booklet and handouts for the course. Right now, there are only seven seats left. If you want to access this class and interact with some of the greatest and nicest people you will ever meet, it would be wise to buy the class right now. Just click on the button below.
