Grant Proposal Writing Rec Pro Outdoor & Community Rec Education

CEPR1031 Non-credit course 45
Description:
During times of limited resources, securing extramural funding may be the difference between offering a new program, meeting an emerging need, or sticking with the status quo. Grant writing is an art, and often overlooked as a potential funding source for parks and recreation agencies, and other organizations. This class will explore the basics of effective grant writing, the importance of collaboration, all the while unraveling the mystery of where and how to locate your future funding source. While there are many sources that claim to have the answer to grant writing, we will focus on what the books do not tell you and dispel the myths. We will examine some potential funding sources in such areas as youth development, conservation, social equity, education, and health & wellness with the goal of your grant application being ready to submit at the end of the semester.
