Project Funding for Sustainable Development 102

OVERVIEW: Project Funding for Sustainable Development

What is this course?

A 6 week, self-paced training program where you will each continue the development of your UN Sustainable Development project that was started in OL 101. 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.

Project Funding: Learn by doing.

You will embed impact into your sustainable development 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.

How will you you learn about Project Funding?

1. The course will lead you through the continued development of your project by developing donor presentation documents for project funding.
2. You will also develop the management tools necessary for executing your project for long-term sustainability and impact.

Who should take this Project Funding course?

1. This course is perfect for nonprofit and development professionals working in areas such as food security, watershed management, agriculture, the environment, health, education, 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.
