Grant Writing Training for Small Business Teams: Building In-House Skills

Grants are a recurring opportunity for many businesses. Having someone on the team who understands the process means you can spot opportunities earlier, respond faster and keep a consistent story across applications.

Pick people who write clearly and know the business: an owner, an operations lead or a marketing manager. Add someone who knows the numbers. Two trained people are better than one, because applications need a writer and a reviewer.

• Reading a funding announcement and scoring your fit
• Writing a clear need statement and use of funds
• Building a budget that matches the narrative
• Collecting documents once and reusing them
• Checking an application against a submission checklist

Keep a shared folder with your registrations, financial statements, descriptions of your business, key numbers, team biographies and past application text. The library saves hours on every application.

Begin with smaller, local programs while the team builds confidence. Move to larger programs as your process improves. For large or complex requests, bring in help: our packages are priced by the size of the request, from $799 for one grant.

Our workshops are hands-on sessions for individuals and teams, from $839 per attendee. The bootcamp suits teams new to grants, and Advanced Grant Strategies suits teams ready to plan larger requests. No session is scheduled now; join the waitlist.

Use a professional when the deadline is close, the amount is large, or the application is outside your team's experience. See the business grant packages or the Business Annual Program, which covers 12 grants a year.
