Frequently Asked Questions
 What is your grant writing workshop all
about?
Our High Impact Grants Grant writing workshops are all
about helping your grant proposals get funded! That means we focus on
proposal development techniques that are generally not found in grant writing
books or on grant writing websites. Our grant writing workshops will help you
develop proposals that are well-conceived, well researched and that tell a
powerful story to funders.
How much is the tuition?
The tuition for Workshop 1, "SHOW ME THE MONEY!" is only $195. The tuition for Workshop 2, CREATE HIGH IMPACT GRANTS! is $390. If you register for both workshops, tuition is only $535, instead of $585. You will also receive a copy of our newest publication, The Encyclopedia of Evidence-Based Programs, Practices and Interventions (a $195 value.) Graduates of our workshops will also receive a Certificate of Completion and 90 days of free phone consultation. Both workshops also include breakfasts, and all instructional materials, including the High Impact Grants! workshop manual.
Are these workshops for beginning
or experienced grant writers?
Beginning and experienced grant
writers can benefit by attending these workshops. Our workshops provide
beginning grant writers a great introduction to the fundamentals of effective
proposal development: planning your proposal, how to develop effective proposal
components, finding funders at the local, state and federal levels, how to
communicate with funders, and how to write proposals efficiently and
effectively. Experienced grant writers can learn the latest concepts about
developing powerful proposals. For example, how can proposal developers answer
the important ‘So What?’ question that all funders will ask?
What types of organizations attend?
Our workshop attendees have
included representatives from nonprofit organizations, staff and administrators
from schools, colleges and universities, members of faith-based organizations,
grant making organizations, local and state government agencies, university
researchers, board members of community organizations, for-profit businesses
and community representatives from all over America. For a detailed listing of
past workshop attendees, go to past
participants.
How do I pay the workshop tuition?
The
easiest way to register is to register
online. Our registration process is totally safe and secure. If you would
rather not give your credit card information over the internet, you can also
register by downloading our
registration
form and faxing it or mailing it to us. Or you can call High Impact Grants
at 800-846-7514 and register over the phone. However you register, we are sure
you will have a great experience in our workshops.
Do your
workshops cover research proposals?
Our workshops are designed to
accommodate a wide variety of grant writing interests. Accordingly, we present
learning modules that provide professional development opportunities for
community-based and research-focused workshop participants. In those instances
where a majority of workshop attendees are scientific or technical researchers,
we will modify our curriculum to provide a more research-intensive learning
experience.
Do you have a description of what the workshops
cover?
Our workshops are designed to present all major learning
concepts to our participants. For a detailed description of our three-day grant
writing workshops, go to our workshops.
Who are the workshop facilitators?
Our principal workshop
facilitator is Edward W. Wollmann, a highly experienced grant writer and grant
writing workshop instructor. For a detailed description of Edward’s
professional background, go to about us.
Have your workshops ever been evaluated?
We provide opportunities
for all our workshop participants to evaluate our grant writing workshops. Over
the years, almost 99 percent of past workshop participants have reported they
would recommend our grant writing workshop to others. We also have many
testimonials that describe the effectiveness of
our grant writing workshops. If you would like a detailed evaluation of
our grant writing workshops, just call High Impact Grants toll
free at 800-846-7514.
How is your grant writing workshop different
from the others?
The biggest difference between our grant writing
workshops and other workshops is that we place a major emphasis on program
impacts. As one of our recent workshop attendees put it:
Ed Wollmann’s presentation on “High
Impact Grant Proposals” at the Michigan Rehabilitation Conference last
week was one of the best presentations on grant proposals I’ve ever been
to. He was enthusiastic and really engaged the audience. Many of
our community rehabilitation organizations were there and as a grant reviewer,
I hope that the participants will use the tools he provided to create
“high impact” proposals that Michigan Rehabilitation Services could
fund in the future.
