- Practice organizational readiness working with a grant team to develop a grant for an identified need and create goals, S.M.A.R.T. objectives, and quantifiable outcomes
- Develop a grant proposal or continue to work on an existing concept that can be elaborated upon to meet a community need
- Assemble the grant proposal in anticipation of submitting it to a specific funder
- Nurture and maintain relationships with funders to expand fundraising opportunities
About the Instructor
Years ago, Mrs. Mary Lippitt created a business to respond to a nine-county need for grant funds. At that time, she was a community college English instructor. Over the past two decades, Mrs. Lippitt has written innumerable grants and taught thousands of students (from community college-level to those in graduate residencies). She loves teaching as much as developing grants for those who need funds for projects and programs. She has taught writing and tutored at Craven Community College for the past several years.
Please note: This class will be held Saturday, Nov. 4 and Saturday, Nov. 18. The college will be closed Nov. 11 for Veterans Day.
