Topics covered: Each meeting will be divided into a grantwriting and fundraising section. The grantwriting aspect of the course will focus on teaching how to write grant proposals, identifying and working with foundations.  Participants will produce a grant proposal as a result of the course. The fundraising part of the course will teach the theoretical and practical tools necessary to enhance your knowledge of the field via lectures, discussion and experiential simulation workshops on personal solicitation, planning fundraising events, corporate sponsorships, internet web site and email fundraising. Upon finishing the course, graduates receive diplomas certifying their participation in the course.

After the course: Graduates are provided with information about openings in the field of fundraising and grantwriting in Israel. Many graduates have subsequently entered the field or advanced their position. Graduates have uniformly indicated that they gained much practical and helpful experiential information and a fair number have gained employment or enhanced their career in part due to the course.

Dates: The course will begin on Wednesdays, starting the 27th of June, and will continue once every other week (the tentative dates for the remaining sessions are the 11th and 25th of July and the 8th and 22nd of August). The course will take place between the hours 16:30-20:00. Due to the number of participants, all final dates will be decided during the first session so as to make sure that everybody can participate in all sessions.

See what one student from the Jerusalem class has to say:

With two sessions down, David's Jerusalem class on grantwriting/fundraising is at full speed ahead. He has discussed the form of grantwriting, and each of us in the class had portions of our grant-in-progress critiqued in class.

From the organization background do's and don’ts to how to prepare a budget, David's class has given us a new confidence in their ability to prepare a formal grant.

We still have four class sessions left where we will cover events, corporate, and internet fundraising. At the end of the course, we will have a certificate of completion as well as enhanced knowledge and skills in fundraising and grantwriting.
