Building the Competitive Application - Grant Readiness Workshop, Part 2 📝

Ready to turn your grant idea into an actual application? This virtual 2.5-hour session builds on our Comprehensive Small Business Grant Readiness Workshop and takes you deeper into the real work of putting together a competitive proposal.

We'll cover:
✅ Common grant application questions - and how to answer them well
✅ How to align your project with a funder's priorities and evaluation criteria
✅ The real differences between goals, objectives, activities, outputs, outcomes + performance indicators
✅ How to write clear, realistic, measurable project objectives
✅ The most common application weaknesses — and how to fix them before you submit

Bring a specific business project, challenge, or funding idea - you'll work through it live during the exercises. Worksheets and handouts included, so you walk away with a foundation you can use on future grant opportunities.
