Best Of

From an Accounting/Leadership lens, I have always subscribed to the newsletters and blogs from regional accounting firms. My two favorite resources are from Moss and Adams and BDO. They both have great NPO webinars, blogs and guides.

Natalie,

My employer did something similar, but it wasn't right away because we had to get the budget approved for it. I did a week long training from The Foundation Center. I have also done a series of trainings from a group called Resource Associates that were about a week long in total. I love it when the trainers are experienced grant professionals themselves.

When I was first hired on as a Fund Development Coordinator & Grant Writer my manager enrolled me in a 3 day Grant Writing Workshop with OneOC https://oneoc.org/. They are based in Orange County, CA and provide a range of services to nonprofits. This was a great experience and I learned valuable new information on how to effectively write compelling grants, how to develop a master narrative that can be used as a template for grant proposals, and how to effectively search for grants opportunities. The course was taught by two expert Grant Writers wo both had valuable insight based on personal experience. This workshop provided a strong foundation for me as I navigated the grant writing space.
