Bess and Sophia are thrilled to announce the launch of our new self-paced eLearning course: Collaborative Grantseeking for Library Staff: A Step-by-Step, Practical Course for Creating Fundable Proposals — Now available through the American Library Association (ALA).

Created for professionals across academic, public, and nonprofit organizations, this self-paced course moves beyond grant writing to build your own sustainable collaborative grantseeking program.

You’ll gain proven tools to use immediately — including video lessons, targeted readings, complete funded grant proposals, reusable templates, and activities that translate theory into action.

TRAINING WORKSHOP

A Collaborative Grantseeking Approach for Arts, Humanities, Museums, and Libraries

A collaborative approach to grantseeking can stimulate and reshape the culture of colleges, departments, libraries, and museums. The focus of this approach emphasizes available resources and how assets can be mobilized to meet multiple objectives and move communities toward positive, innovative change. Bess will answer questions from the field and share some insights into how her leadership and facilitation of grantseeking activities with project leaders and teams has resulted in unusually consistent funding results. These insights and examples are featured in her authored and coauthored books, and featured articles available on this site.

1.5 hours
