Training

RJMA provides a unique series of staff and board training opportunities that include onsite, hands-on seminars, internet-based webinars, and one-on-one mentoring. Each training opportunity is designed to enhance the grant seeking capacity of the client organization by sharing with board and staff members the keys to creating a predictable flow of grants from both government and private foundation sources.

Each training session is tailored to the specific learning objectives of participants and is scaled to accommodate both beginning grant writers and experienced grant seekers looking to advance their skills. Similarly, each training session addresses the unique grant seeking perspectives of board members, staff, and volunteers to ensure that each participant is equipped with the grant seeking skills they need to function effectively in their respective organizational capacities.

Onsite sessions range from one-half day to multi-day sessions targeting any number of participants that can be accommodated in the meeting facility.
