Lake Land College is offering a Grant Writing 102 course that will go deeper into the basics of grant research and application writing.

The two-day course will cover best practices for finding grants and basic information on search engine, including hands on practice on the use of the one of the databases. Participants will learn how to write a “fundable” grant application based on sound research practices. Using their own potentially “fundable” projects, participants will learn how to draft an application, explore common grant questions, and critique other participants’ applications to provide practice at identifying sound grant making principles.

The class will be taught by Fielding Jezreel who has worked in the grants field since 2013 and has raised more than $15 million for nonprofits.

The Grant Writing 102 course will meet on Wednesday, Feb. 27, 2019 and Thursday, Feb. 28, 2019 from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. both days. Lunch will be provided.

Class will be held at the Workforce Development Center, room 101 located at 305 Richmond Ave. East, Mattoon. The cost is $425.
