Penn State Extension will offer "Getting the Most From Your Grant Writing Efforts" live online via Zoom. The program will run from 1 to 3:30 p.m. on Wednesdays and Thursdays, Dec. 7 to 15.

The program's aim is to provide participants with the knowledge and skills required for writing a successful application. The program is designed for individuals new to grant writing, experienced grant writers looking to improve their skills, and individuals who work for, volunteer for, or are involved with nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, local governments, or a foundation.

Participants will learn how to search for and find grant funds, recognize and respond to the components of a grant application, write an effective grant proposal, respond quickly to requests for proposals, work effectively with foundations and other funders, include evaluation strategies in proposals and projects, and write grants from a reviewer's perspective.

There is a cost to participate. To register, visit http://www.extension.psu.edu and search for Grant Writing Efforts. Registration is required to receive the link to access the webinar. Registrants will also receive access to the webinar recording.
