242: Funding Your
Climate Action Plan:
Write Support Documents
For a Donor Presentation
Participate in this adaptation to climate change training program and learn project design, how to write donor presentation documents & develop tools for effective project management. Get field experience: Run a real adaptation project in a real community.
A 6 week, self-paced training program where you will each continue the development of your climate change project that was started in OL 241. Each one of the assignments will be a concrete step in preparing your project for a donor presentation. By the end of the 6 weeks, you will have developed a full set of donor documents and project management tools—and make an initial, exploratory donor presentation.
You will embed impact into your adaptation project design with a set of powerful management tools: Logframes, budgets, schedules and compelling fact sheets. They will communicate to donors & stakeholders exactly what you are going to accomplish and can be used for effective management of the project once funded.
1. The course will lead you through the continued development of your project by developing donor presentation documents for project funding.
2. For long-term sustainability you will also develop the management tools necessary for executing your project for long-term sustainability and impact.
1. This course is perfect for nonprofit and development professionals working in adaptation in areas such as food security, watershed management, agriculture, the environment, sustainable development, or DRR—and who want to develop practitioner-level skills. If you are a grant writer, nonprofit staff member, consultant, project manager—or an executive director—you will develop real skills mastery.
2. This course is just as relevant to a person considering a career transition into the nonprofit/development world and wanting to develop employable skills.
