Description
DESIGN PROJECTS THAT DELIVER POSITIVE, MEASURABLE CHANGE
DELIVER PROPOSALS THAT YOUR DONORS WILL SUPPORT
Successful projects have to offer value to end users and donors. But identifying a winning project and having a good plan often isn't enough. Donors will only support proposals that:
Convince them of the value of solving the problem
Demonstrate that you have a solution
Persuade them you can deliver results
So, you need to be a good communicator, too - presenting your ideas clearly and persuasively.

Welcome From Course Instructor Neil Kendrick
Hello - and thanks for checking out this course! I’m excited to share with you the skills involved in becoming a successful proposal writer.
For over 20 years I've helped development professionals get support from donors through winning proposals. From small NGOs to multi-donor million-dollar projects, I've worked with proposal writers from a range of sectors, helping them get support for their projects. From my worldwide experience, you’ll quickly learn what works and what doesn't.
This practical, step-by-step course is for all those aspiring proposal writers who can't join our face-to-face training due to time, work or expense. Now - without having to book time off, or jump on a plane - you'll soon be able to:
Design a project your donors will support
Plan, draft and edit a winning proposal
And, just like donors, you also want results and value for money. Flying to a training, with all its extra costs, can be expensive. And for less than the travel costs alone, in just a few moments you can have access to this step-by-step, practical training - all downloadable so you don't miss a thing.
So, join me now, on this journey towards winning project proposals.
