Proposal & Grant Writing

Date: May 7th & 8th, 2025

Following the success of the "Roadmap to Budgeting and Reporting" conference, the "Proposal and Grant Writing” conference will provide participants with the skills and strategies needed to secure funding for their communities and organizations.

Indigenous organizations rely heavily on grant funding to meet the needs of members and communities. Maneuvering the world of proposals and grants can be daunting, yet governments continue to put out frequent Calls for Proposals requesting applications to access funding - funding that is often surplused due to lack of capacity to write the proposals or applications. This course will build capacity and confidence in you and your staff to access funding through proposals, get the grant funding, implement the project, and do the required reporting - thereby completing another aspect of financial literacy!

This conference will guide attendees through the entire process of crafting compelling proposals and grant applications tailored specifically to the needs and priorities of Indigenous organizations.

Key Takeaways:

• Maximize financial resources
• Enhance programs and service delivery in areas of need
• Provide participants with the skills and strategies needed to secure funding for their communities and organizations.
• Equip you as a manager or staff person to identify funding opportunities and determine if it meets your needs
• Provide potential sources of proposal-based funding
• Help you identify your role in proposal writing
• Identify a simple 12 step process in proposal writing
• Outline best practices from lived experiences in proposal writing, implementation, and reporting
• Provide a checklist for proposal tracking
• Reduce the fear and trepidation around writing proposals
• Provide hands-on learning, networking with peers, and stories of successes and challenges in accessing proposal and grant funding
