Grant Writing

Each spring, the Action Research Center offers a course in grant writing for Illinois Wesleyan students and community members. Students are paired with a community non-profit and asked to research and write grants to raise real life funds for their organization. This class is unique in that it lays out the grant writing process in a step-by-step manner; a skill that is usually gained over many years of trial and error.
