The list of continuing ed and online training courses for grant writing grows longer every day.  While these are good starting points, the best way to learn this intense new skillset is through immersion.  If you’re looking to dive right in, get started with a boot camp!  

The best part of a boot camp is it gives you a low-stakes opportunity to make mistakes and get feedback.  Immersion means that by the time you feel overwhelmed you’ve already learned more than you realize.  These intensives cover all aspects of grant writing, including research and targeting your project to the grant and potential funder.

If your company or organization is launching a grant writing department, or assigning a grant writer position, put them in a boot camp as part of their training.  This will help ease the learning curve and give your grant writer the foundational skills and knowledge, as well as resources, for optimized grant finding and grant writing.  

At Boyd Grants, we offer both training and coaching services.  Grant writing boot camps are a short-term solution to kickstart successful grant writing while coaching offers a well-rounded, long-term solution for you or your grant writer to hone their skills over time.
