Live Online M&E for Grant Writing and Fundraising Training Course

Donors increasingly score proposals on how convincingly applicants will measure results, so a weak monitoring section can sink an otherwise strong application. The week starts with the funding landscape and how evaluation evidence strengthens credibility with foundations, bilateral donors, corporates and individual givers. Proposal design sessions cover problem statements, theory of change, logframes, SMART indicators, M&E plans and budgets that align with donor templates. You then build monitoring systems that capture the data promised in proposals and track performance against grant milestones and reporting deadlines.

Impact reporting days cover donor reports, case stories, dashboards and accountability practices that support renewals and long-term partnerships. The final day turns to resource mobilization strategy, diversifying income, using results in fundraising campaigns and trends in outcome-based and results-based financing. Participants draft the results and M&E sections of a proposal for a real funding opportunity and receive detailed feedback on clarity and credibility. Grant writers, resource mobilization officers, programme managers, M&E staff and leaders of NGOs and social enterprises will be able to write more competitive proposals and report results that strengthen funder relationships over time.
