Creating Winning Proposals

Description

Proposals are persuasive documents that help organisations to denote funding and output, so essentially, a proposal will make or break your idea or project. Building and maintaining relationships with stakeholders and shareholders is a crucial factor in creating a successful proposal and this course will help you to build trust through honesty to all parties involved.
The next secret behind a good proposal is creating projects that are a good fit for your organisation, who are ready to cooperate and do the work the project contains, and this course will teach you to make proposals that fulfil the mission and values of your organisations, as well as those of the funding agencies.
Building a great template is important, and that’s why there is a module on what you should be including in a proposal, even down to details like font types, sizes and spacing!
