CCEEJ Launches First Grant Writing Training Course

 

The Center for Community Energy and Environmental Justice (CCEEJ) is excited to announce the launch of the first grant writing training program in partnership with Writing for Green. CCEEJ invites applications for an online class starting June 1st that provides hands-on training on the fundamentals of grant writing. 

Whether you are new to grant writing or a more experienced writer, in this course, you will develop a wide range of competencies necessary for effective grant writing – how to use storytelling in persuasive writing; managing workflow across a proposal preparation team; creating and presenting sound budgets, and grant evaluation plans. Following the completion of the class, CCEEJ will continue to support course graduates to maintain and build grant writing skills with the growing community of writers. 


What to expect:
The program will last 8 weeks, with 1 hour of online class time and 2-3 hours of work to complete each week. Instructor support and office hours will be provided throughout the course. All participants who complete the program will receive a $1,000 stipend. To receive the stipend, participants will be required to complete the course and submit a W8 or W9 IRS form. We are anticipating a June 1st start date for the class. All course materials and sessions are in English. 

How to Apply:
Space in the course is limited. We encourage all interested applicants to submit an application here. Applications will be evaluated based on the eligibility of the organization following the EPA’s eligibility guidelines to receive support from the TCTAC and their location within EPA R9. Applications will close on May 21, 2024. If you are not accepted into the first training session, we are planning to offer the course again in September. Applicants who are not admitted to the online class may also be invited to access the course content independently.
