Want to write
better grants? Compare
weak and strong proposals side-by-side and get a
funder’s perspective on what makes for a winning
application.
The Ohio Environmental Education Fund will share
examples from 20 years of grant making to show why one
education project is more likely to be successful than
another, and which proposal is more likely to be funded.
One of the best ways to become a better grant
writer yourself is to review others’ proposals.
Practice scoring online applications, using
OEEF’s preferred characteristics for projects targeting
a K-12 or adult audience.
Participants will be certified as OEEF volunteer
peer reviewers.
It is recommended, but not required, to take
101-102 before taking 103.
