PORTLAND, Ore. – Grant proposals can be tricky: one misplaced sentence or idea, and your hard work could end up being passed up. Get your proposal noticed, plus learn to avoid the most common pitfalls by signing up for an online, non-credit class offered by Portland Community College. Over $200 billion annually is available for worthy causes. In Writing Effective Grant Proposals, you will learn to avoid the mistakes that get applications for wonderful projects tossed into the wastebasket.
