Charlotte Mecklenburg Library hosts Proposal Writing Boot Camp
Charlotte Mecklenburg Library is pleased to partner with Foundation Center to bring its Proposal Writing Boot Camp to Charlotte. The Foundation Center’s three-day immersion course focuses on the essential knowledge and skills fundraisers need to develop effective foundation proposals.
The Proposal Writing Boot Camp will take place November 7 through 9 and be led by Foundation Center staff. Participants will be encouraged to approach their proposal from the funder’s perspective and think critically about what makes a compelling pitch. The three days are grounded in project-based learning and include a variety of individual writing time, small group discussions and activities, peer review and large group lecture.
The $695 fee includes a comprehensive workbook and templates, sample letters of inquiry and proposals, two weeks of complimentary access to Foundation Directory Online Professional, and a copy of Foundation Center’s Guide to Proposal Writing, 6th edition. The course is also eligible for 18 CFRE Education Points. Learn more or register online at http://bit.ly/PWBCCFC.
