Grantsmanship & Training

The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) is an online federal resource on grants and grants information. One feature of this site is called Developing And Writing Grant Proposals. It covers such topics as developing and writing a successful grant proposal, development of budgets, goals, and outcomes.

Clearinghouse would like to recommend the following other sources of grantsmanship training. This does not mean to imply that these are only training resources.



Management Concepts offers a comprehensive federal grants and assistance training curriculum. Their courses focus on government-wide grants requirements and best practices to help federal awarding agencies, pass-through entities, and recipients effectively use scarce federal grant dollars, and include introductory courses on the grants process and application basics to advanced topics like assistance law and performance-based grants.
The Maryland Association of Nonprofit Organizations is an organization established to strengthen and improve individual nonprofit organizations and the nonprofit sector as a whole, while also working to bolster public confidence in and support for nonprofit organizations. To achieve this goal, Maryland Nonprofits works through a five part program of training and technical assistance on the entire spectrum of nonprofit management topics; cooperative buying programs for the purchase of employee benefits, office equipment and supplies, and other necessary goods and services; information sharing and networking through informal roundtable discussion groups and monthly member mailings; public policy advocacy on issues affecting the health and vitality of the nonprofit sector; and research, public education and public relations to promote increased support for the nonprofit sector.
