Grant-Writing for Public Safety & First Responders: Online Grant Training

Grants are competitive, and no one can guarantee success.

However, our training provides the skills you need to write a competitive grant application that can win your agency crucial funding, equipment, personnel, and more.

First Responder Grants students maintain a documented +80% success rate at winning a grant award after attending our training… many on their very first application.

How It Works

To keep costs low and accessible, our regional training is hosted by local public safety agencies and requires a minimum of 15 pre-registered students to proceed.

Approximately 30 days before the event, classes are officially “locked in,” and we advise waiting until this window to book non-refundable travel, as we cannot reimburse personal expenses.

One week before the session, you will receive digital handouts (in PDF or Word format) via email, which you are responsible for printing and bringing to class. Full payment is due at least 10 days before training, though we offer flexible transfers to other sessions if you are unable to attend. In the event of a cancellation on our part, you may choose a registration transfer or a full refund, less any credit card processing fees.

Training Terms & Conditions

First Responder Grants is very sensitive to the budgetary constraints necessary for our clientele, and it has always been our goal to maintain our tuition costs at an absolute minimum. We have been able to achieve this goal through the adoption of certain policies and procedures.

The cost to attend is $499 per student. All other costs, such as but not limited to travel expenses, are the responsibility of the student.

Full payment is due at least 10 days before your training, or if you registered less than 10 days from the start of training, by the day before training begins.
