Course Overview
DESIGN PROJECTS THAT DONORS WILL SUPPORT AND WRITE PROPOSALS THAT PERSUADE
DESIGN PROJECTS THAT DELIVER POSITIVE, MEASURABLE CHANGE
DELIVER PROPOSALS THAT YOUR DONORS WILL SUPPORT
Successful projects have to offer value to end users and donors. But identifying a winning project and having a good plan often isn't enough. Donors will only support proposals that:
Convince them of the value of solving the problem
Demonstrate that you have a solution
Persuade them you can deliver results
So, you need to be a good communicator, too - presenting your ideas clearly and persuasively.
WHAT OUR PRACTICAL PROJECT PLANNING & PROPOSAL WRITING COURSE WILL TEACH YOU

How to design your own project

Welcome From Course Instructor Neil Kendrick
Hello - and thanks for checking out this course! I’m excited to share with you the skills involved in becoming a successful proposal writer.
For over 20 years I've helped development professionals get support from donors through winning proposals. From small NGOs to multi-donor million-dollar projects, I've worked with proposal writers from a range of sectors, helping them get support for their projects. From my worldwide experience, you’ll quickly learn what works and what doesn't.
This practical, step-by-step course is for all those aspiring proposal writers who can't join our face-to-face training due to time, work or expense. Now - without having to book time off, or jump on a plane - you'll soon be able to:
Design a project your donors will support
Plan, draft and edit a winning proposal
And, just like donors, you also want results and value for money. Flying to a training, with all its extra costs, can be expensive. And for less than the travel costs alone, in just a few moments you can have access to this step-by-step, practical training - all downloadable so you don't miss a thing.
So, join me now, on this journey towards winning project proposals.

Sound quality is poor. This seems focused on proposals for NGOs and government aid programs. Not business focused at all. While presenter seems to be knowledgeable, he spends an extraordinary amount of time on simplistic writing issues than leaps into complex topics with byzantine charts that you barely have time to look at, much less learn. The idea of teaching the topic rather than just reciting information seems foreign to him. All the useful information is in the Resources. My advice is to skip the lectures and review the Resources. Cannot recommend, despite his clear good intentions and experience.
