“I have enjoyed learning process of writing a grant and have most certainly learned skills that I wouldn’t have gained otherwise.” - Ruth
Hi, I'm Dr Richard Hoefer.
For more than 25 years (a quarter for a century!) I've been writing grants, getting funded, and teaching others to do so as well in my university classes.
It's used to be, grants were a lot easier to get and many poorly written proposals were funded.
It's not like that anymore. The competition is stiff and requirements are tough. Those who are out there "attempting" to get grants will find themselves far behind the curve.
This FUNDED course gives you the edge you need to get resources for your organization, your cause, and your clients.

Week 12: Final Details
Successful grantwriters find and acquire money and other resources to support causes they love, from children with cancer to elderly people who have been scammed. Whatever cause YOU believe in, you will be able to make it happen!
Writing grants is very competitive, and when you know the ins and outs of the profession, you'll feel the "thrill of victory" when the proposal that YOU crafted after hours of effort is given recognition as among the best submitted.
Helping people is the number one thing that successful grantwriters do. With YOUR skills and efforts, you will bring vital resources to organizations that assist and empower people to live better lives. You will be a key player in improving the lives of thousands.
Other grant courses cost a lot of money--I've seen prices as high as $1,499.00, which doesn't include other costs, such as airfare, hotel charges, and restaurant bills. The least expensive reputable course, that only covers foundation grants, sets you back $595.00, for 2 days of information and 1 day of practice--and again ignores the real costs of travel.
You won't know much about the presenters, either. They may have just been given a script to follow, without every having had to prove themselves in the real world of writing grants.
And don't forget the hidden price you pay--time away from your office, your family, your LIFE!
“[Dr. Hoefer’s] willingness to share [his] wisdom and knowledge …has given me the ability and the confidence to write any grant proposal that would benefit an organization that serves people in need. THANK YOU!” - Michael
“I feel confident that I really understand the grant writing process from finding an RFP to thinking about what the reader sees in a proposal. Thank you for such a wonderful learning experience!” - Gretchen
