Every year, billions of dollars are awarded for grants and contracts to support environmental initiatives. A well-structured and persuasive proposal is the starting point for securing resources from government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and private foundations. In this workshop, you will understand the proposal writing process and how to structure a proposal for clarity, develop an evidence-based and compelling proposal idea, appreciate the common proposal writing mistakes to avoid, and design a draft proposal for a live opportunity, such as the Packard Foundation’s Global Climate Initiative.
