AGER 5800 - Grant Proposal Writing for Aging Services

1–3 hours

Today’s health, social and housing programs for older persons are rarely self-supporting. Government funding, insurance payments and client fees cover only a portion of the cost of delivering needed services. As a result, a program’s success depends on its ability to secure other types of income. This course provides the skills needed to conceive, prepare and submit successful proposals for external funding of innovative human service projects for the elderly. As part of the course, each student will develop a proposal designed to help a community program respond to a specific problem facing the aged.

Prerequisite(s): None.
