Western North Carolina nonprofits are carrying a heavy load right now. Hurricane Helene’s recovery is still ongoing, federal funding continues to shrink, and DEI-focused grants are harder to come by. Your community needs your organization to be resourced, resilient, and ready. This important work starts with knowing how to make the ask.

Grant Writing 101 gives you a solid foundation to write proposals that get a funder’s attention. Whether you’re starting from scratch or ready to sharpen your skills, you’ll walk away knowing how to find aligned funders, build a compelling narrative, create a project budget, and demonstrate measurable impact. We’ll also dig into how AI fits into the proposal process, and how to use it without losing your voice.

By the end, you’ll have the skills to write proposals that communicate your project’s value and move funders to say yes. This class is taught by Simone Adams.
