Frequently Asked Questions

What is your grant writing workshop all about?
Our High Impact Grants Grant writing workshops are all about helping your grant proposals get funded! That means we focus on proposal development techniques that are generally not found in grant writing books or on grant writing websites. Our grant writing workshops will help you develop proposals that are well-conceived, well researched and that tell a powerful story to funders.
 
How much is the tuition?

Seminar Tuition Fees: Tuition for our High Impact Grants! Inc three-day professional grant writing seminars is $585.00

Are these workshops for beginning or experienced grant writers?
Beginning and experienced grant writers can benefit by attending these workshops. Our workshops provide beginning grant writers a great introduction to the fundamentals of effective proposal development: planning your proposal, how to develop effective proposal components, finding funders at the local, state and federal levels, how to communicate with funders, and how to write proposals efficiently and effectively. Experienced grant writers can learn the latest concepts about developing powerful proposals. For example, how can proposal developers answer the important ‘So What?’ question that all funders will ask?

How is your grant writing workshop different from the others?
The biggest difference between our grant writing workshops and other workshops is that we place a major emphasis on program impacts. As one of our recent workshop attendees put it:

Ed Wollmann’s presentation on “High Impact Grant Proposals” at the Michigan Rehabilitation Conference last week was one of the best presentations on grant proposals I’ve ever been to.  He was enthusiastic and really engaged the audience.  Many of our community rehabilitation organizations were there and as a grant reviewer, I hope that the participants will use the tools he provided to create “high impact” proposals that Michigan Rehabilitation Services could fund in the future.
