WRITING GRANT PROPOSALS FOR WRAP

Sponsored by The Copeland Center for Wellness and Recovery

This webinar was presented by Katherine Heart on February 9, 2012, and drew 265 registrants from 41 U.S. States, the District of Columbia and Virgin Islands, and 5 countries (Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, Japan, Philippines). The webinar is no longer archived by The Copeland Center, however, Katherine’s records will allow her to present this topic again for other organizations.

The webinar was based on Katherine’s Half-Day Institute at the First International WRAP Around the World Conference by the Copeland Center for Wellness & Recovery. WRAP is Wellness Recovery Action Plan, a recovery system developed by people who have experience incorporating wellness tools and strategies into their lives. The webinar provides basic information about seeking grants for WRAP and other recovery programs. Grants can be found to start or expand the number of groups, train facilitators, integrate into formal systems of care, and develop community programs that serve the needs of children and families, veterans, and others. The webinar includes information about the grant-seeking process, steps to develop a basic grant proposal, and how to search for funders. A sample proposal for veterans from Vet to Vet Ohio serves as an example. The webinar applies to other wellness recovery, health, and mental health programs.

GRANT TRAINING QUALIFICATIONS

Katherine F.H. Heart, GPC, M.Ed. earned the GPC (Grant Professional Certified) credential from the Grant Professionals Certification Institute (GPCI) in 2013 and was the first grant professional to receive the designation of GPA Approved Trainer by the Grant Professionals Association in 2014.

GPA Approved Trainer

The GPA Approved Trainer designation is based on an application containing grant course descriptions, learning objectives, competencies/skills list, and positive references of teaching skills from participants. Renewal of the application is required every three years.

https://www.grantcredential.org

The GPC is the only grant credential recognized by a nationally-accredited body and confirms mastery of the knowledge and practice of grantsmanship through formal validated testing. The GPC has become an industry standard attesting to qualifications and experience better than any college degree or grant training certificate. On May 31, 2019, the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) granted accreditation to the Grant Professionals Certification Institute (GPCI) and the GPC credential for demonstrating compliance with the NCCA Standards for the Accreditation of Certification Programs.

The GPC credentialing process involves independent verification of awarded grants, years of grants experience, and references prior to taking the multiple choice and written exam. Maintaining the credential requires upholding ethical standards and accumulating over 100 CEUs by providing grant services and participating in professional development and volunteer service. Renewal is required every 3 years. Verify Katherine FH Heart, GPC at www.grantcredential.org.
