The Launch Pad’s Technology Team has been serving the needs of nonprofit and community service organizations since 1992.   To assist nonprofit organizations in learning about technology grants and funding opportunities, The Launch Pad offers a Quarterly Technology Grant Review.  Many nonprofit organizations have let us know that they wish they knew more about applying for grant funding and  often say they find the grant writing process confusing and overwhelming.   Our friends at TechSoup are offering the recipe for writing a successful funding request in their 6-part grant series, Successful Grants in One Hour a Week which you can find archived on the site.   Each weekly series topic cover the step by step process on how to prepare, develop and write a winning grant.

TechSoup will cover each phase in the grant writing and submission process:

1.  Prepare
2. Focus on Priorities and Needs
3. Develop the Grant Project
4. Research Funders and Find Appropriate Grants
5. Write the Grant Proposal
6. Implement, Evaluate and Continue the Process

The series is written by Stephanie Gerding, a successful grant writer, reviewer, project coordinator, consultant and trainer. Stephanie has written over 20 published articles and co-authored two books on grants.  She is a great resource for nonprofit organizations wishing to learn how to write a successful technology grant.
