Today, thousands of people in the second half of life have opened up a next chapter of innovation, productivity, and creativity, and, in the process, have transformed our communities and our country. They are living proof that aging does not mean stagnation and decline.

The winner will be effective and action-oriented innovator who has launched this initiative after his or her 50th birthday.

He or she will be making his or her impact in many different ways. The winner may be a social innovator who has started a new organization; a catalyst for change whose innovative approaches have transformed an existing organization; or a grassroots activist playing a leadership role in improving communities or advancing a cause. And he or she will hold the promise of even greater accomplishments in the future.

Hosted by the Bayview Foundation. 
The Grantsmanship Training Program is a comprehensive, hands-on workshop that covers the complete grant development process, from researching funding sources to writing and reviewing grant proposals. More than 110,000 nonprofit and government personnel have attended this fast-paced, five-day workshop, which is followed with a full year of membership support services.

During this workshop, participants learn The Grantsmanship Center’s proposal-writing format, the most widely used in the world. In addition to practicing advanced techniques for pursuing government, foundation, and corporate grants, participants work in small teams to develop and then review real grant proposals.

Participants exit the class equipped with new skills, new professional connections, and follow-up support services for one year, including professional proposal review, access to The Grantsmanship Center’s exclusive online funding databases, and an array of other benefits. Many also leave with proposals that are ready to polish and submit.

Tuition for the Grantsmanship Training Program is $875 ($825 for each additional registrant from the same organization).

To ensure personalized attention, class size is limited to 30 participants. To register online, to learn about scholarship opportunities for qualifying organizations, or for more information, visit http://tgci.com/gtptraining.shtml. Or call The Grantsmanship Center’s Registrar at (800) 421-9512.
 

Changing demographics, persistent funding challenges, and increased accountability are a fact of life for nonprofits and governmental organizations. These pressures demand that we assess and refocus the organization to address key issues to bring the entire organization's energy to peak performance. 

This workshop takes you through an organizational self-assessment process to determine major strengths, weaknesses, set goals, and define the results you need to for maximum organizational effectiveness. A variety of exercises helps you focus on the customer/consumer and determine the major areas needed to build a stronger organization.

LOCATION: Room 111, Rothwell Student Center, UW-Superior
