Have you ever wondered how to answer the “Needs Statement” or “Problem Statement” section of a grant application? This course will teach participants why an effective needs statement is necessary for a successful grant application; the process for identifying and verifying community needs; how to effectively craft a needs statement based on your findings; and where your needs statement can be used to promote your work and obtain funding. The webinar will include examples of effective (and ineffective) needs statements, and there will be time for participant questions and interaction.
