About Our
Curriculum & Approach
At Writing for Green, we believe the best way to learn is by doing. Our training and coaching experiences are hands-on, dynamic, and designed for real growth. If you’re looking for a passive, webinar-style session where someone reads slides at you—you’re in the wrong place. But if you’re ready to be challenged, to strengthen what you already do well, and to build new, immediately applicable skills—we’re here for you.
Every participant brings unique assets and experiences to the table. We start there. Instead of focusing on deficits, we help you leverage your existing strengths. If your organization already has a solid grant writer, we’ll help make them exceptional. If you’re leading an emerging community group and want to design stronger programs or diversify your funding streams, we’ll help you get there.
We reverse-engineered our curriculum in two ways. First, by identifying the core competencies that drive successful program planning and proposal development. Then, by deconstructing our own proven grant-writing and program design methods. The result is a modular, customizable training system that demystifies complex processes and empowers participants to plan, fund, and execute high-impact projects with confidence.
Live Trainings
Our grant writing and program design trainings include roughly 40 hours of interactive learning in small cohorts of about 10 participants, meeting remotely via Zoom.
Personalized Coaching & Technical Assistance
Though each service stands on its own, our training program and personalized coaching work best together.
Self-Directed Grant Writing Training Course
This 20-module video-based course - which is modeled after our live course in substance, style and learning approach - is video-based and highly interactive. It is NOT structured like a webinar!
Supporting Foundations & Big Greens
To date, Writing for Green has supported more than 500 organizations through our diverse training and coaching programs.
Direct Grant Writing
Does your organization need help crafting a strong application for a specific funding opportunity? Writing for Green has helped our Clients win millions - actually hundreds of millions of dollars. While our role varies - from coaching and project-scoping; to editing and lead-writing - our commitment to detail, and quality, never waivers.
