Proposal & Grant Writing SHSM Certification

Overview:

A Proposal & Grant Writing certification is a valuable addition to many Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM)programs in Ontario, especially in sectors such as non-profit, business, arts & culture, environment, community services, and technology. This training introduces students to the foundational skills needed to research opportunities, structure persuasive proposals, and communicate clearly with potential funders or partners. As organizations increasingly rely on effective written communication to secure resources, this certification gives students a meaningful head start.

Proposal and grant writing training teaches students how to identify funding needs, analyze eligibility requirements, and gather key information to build a compelling case for support. Students learn how to outline a project, describe its impact, and craft clear objectives and budgets. They also explore practical skills such as audience awareness, concise writing, and organizing information for maximum clarity and persuasiveness. Through exercises and real-world examples, students gain the confidence to structure professional documents that inform, persuade, and inspire.
