Unlock the Funding You’ve Been Missing: A Hands-On Foundation Grant Writing Workshop for Educator Preparation Leaders
Thursday, February 19 | 1:00 – 4:00 p.m.
In an era of shrinking budgets and shifting priorities, many colleges of education are being asked to do more with less — while also demonstrating innovation, impact, and sustainability. But where do you begin when you’re new to grant seeking, short on time, or working at an institution without dedicated development support?
Join national grant strategist Jennifer Carinci for a practical, energizing, and beginner-friendly workshop designed specifically for deans, department chairs, center directors, faculty, staff, and emerging scholars. This interactive preconference demystifies the world of foundation funding and shows you exactly how to find aligned opportunities, build relationships in unexpected places, and craft proposals that stand out.
Through mini-lessons, case studies, guided practice, and ready-to-use tools, you’ll learn how to transform your ideas into fundable projects — even if you’ve never written a proposal before. You’ll leave with greater confidence, clearer next steps, and how to draft a project concept you can continue to refine long after the conference ends.
If you’re ready to expand your institution’s capacity, spark new partnerships, and build a proactive grants culture, this workshop is your starting point.
Learning Objectives:
• Understand how to identify and evaluate potential funders;
• Learn to align institutional goals with funding priorities;
• Gain skills in crafting compelling narratives and realistic budgets; and
• Receive tools and strategies for proposal development and submission.
