Download the Prevention Grant Writing Toolkit
Your next federal grant awaits. Let’s start writing.
Grant writing is essential to building a thriving organization in the field of mental health promotion and substance use prevention. But it’s not always easy to know where to start.
Download the Prevention Grant Writing Toolkit, a step-by-step guide to winning that next 6 and 7 figure federal grant from grantors like SAMHSA and the CDC. The toolkit includes checklists, questions, and do-it-yourself guides to help you be organized and in control of your next grant writing journey.
Level-up your grant writing skills and follow along with three no-cost recorded workshops below where you’ll learn how to plan for successful grant writing, tackle the project narrative and budget, and improve your grant writing skills by reviewing real-world examples.
Workshop #1: Planning for Successful Grant Writing
In this first workshop, you will learn how to select grants, create a grant timeline, write proposals, develop pre-written materials, build a grant-writing team, use common frameworks like SAMHSA’s Strategic Prevention Framework, demonstrate community engagement, and form effective partnerships with agreements.
