Vickers Consulting Services, Inc. will now be offering both 1 and 2 day grant writing workshops. The new workshop formats will provide more in-depth analysis of the grant writing process including more about the traps organizations fall into when writing their grants and how to avoid them. If your organization is interested in hosting a workshop in your area, please see below for more details!

Both of our workshop formats are available for each of these genres:
• Fire & EMS
• Law Enforcement
• Civic Associations
• Faith-Based Organizations
• Educational Organizations

This ensures that you get the most out of your valuable time spent with us since all of the attendees will be from the same background as you, providing for a more in-depth experience than general topic workshops.

The 1 Day Format:

• 8 hour class (can be split into two 4 hour night classes)
• For beginning writers to experienced writers
• Covers all aspects of grant pursuit including:
  • general concepts of grant writing and grant programs
  • where to find grants
  • how to perform pre-application research
  • how to perform organizational assessments
  • how to figure out what the grant maker wants to see (needs statements, project goals, measurable results, etc)
  • how to argue effectively in narratives
  • and so much more we don’t have the room to list it all…
• Will also include a free analysis of a past grant application written for any attending department who is willing to have it reviewed as a part of the presentation (must be received 10 days prior to the application period to be included).
• Hand-outs and lunch will be provided

Cost:
• $250 for the first person from an organization
• $150 for each additional person from that same organization.

The hosting organization is responsible for guaranteeing a minimum attendance of 20 people and assisting with registration/payments. The date and 20 people minimum must be confirmed 32 days prior to the set workshop date. The host department may have up to 5 members of their organization attend for free.

The 2 Day Format:

• 1st day will be the same as the above mentioned single day format
• Everyone will leave the 1st day with a set of guidelines of and an actual application packet for a current or upcoming grant program they are eligible for

The 2nd Day:
• We will review additional questions or information not covered on Day 1
• Will be spent writing an application for a program that your department is eligible for
• We will help guide everyone in writing their applications so by the time the class is over you will have an application ready for the next opening of that program
• You will leave prepared to not only apply for the application you worked on, but will have the tools to seek out other grant applications in your area as well as nationwide, plus be prepared to apply for them
• Lunch and handouts will be provided on both days

Cost:
• $450 for the first person from the organization
• $250 for the second person from the same organization

The hosting organization is responsible for guaranteeing a minimum attendance of 20 people and assisting with registration/payments.

We have already started reserving dates, so if you are interested in hosting a workshop in your area, please call to reserve a date TODAY!

Our prices are lower than the average Workshop costs out there because we have departments host at their facilities or nearby schools & community centers so we can avoid renting hotel conference rooms (but are willing to do so if it is needed to accommodate a large group). We believe grant information doesn't have to be expensive.

If you have any additional questions, would like more information or would like to book a date in your area, please call our office at 281-944-9405 or you can e-mail us at info@vickersconsultingservices.com.

Registration is limited per date to a first-come, first-serve basis. Some locations have limited seating so the number of participants from one organization may also be limited to cover as many as possible. Additional dates and locations will be added as scheduling permits.

Come hear what the grant programs don't tell you about your grant applications!
