Organizations secure resources through a variety of venues, including fees, grants, contracts, gifts, bequests, in-kind (non-cash) contributions, and investments.

Participants will learn components of effective grant proposals and technical knowledge on designing supporting documents such as project timelines, flowcharts, organization charts, and logic models. The implications of using alternative approaches to income generation and of changing the income mix will be analyzed in terms of mission accomplishment, program viability, and organizational maintenance.  

The training is aimed at; 

• Assess the financial stability of an organization.  
• Identify appropriate funding strategies leading toward the financial sustainability of an organization.  
• Locate appropriate funding sources for specific social programs, projects, and organizational needs.
