The Grants Lab

SPRING 2025 REGISTRATION IS CLOSED

Missed the Spring 2025 Grants Labs? Not to worry! Sign up to be notified about registration for the next Grant Labs coming this fall!

The Grants Lab is an 8-session course over 10 weeks where participants learn grant writing by working on a grant application for a non-profit of their choice. They receive expert guidance through coaching calls between sessions.

The Grants Lab is a place to learn, practice, make mistakes, try again, ask questions in real time and get customized, one-to-one feedback throughout. By the end of the course, you will have all the components you need in a grant proposal – ready to submit it and secure funding.

Participants can attend in-person in Lancaster, Ohio or online via Zoom.

Sign Up for notification when registration opens for the Fall Grants Lab.
