Grant Writing Toolkit: Gale Courses and AI

Unlock grant training with your library card! Explore free courses and see how AI can be your drafting partner. Practical, time-saving tools for non-profits to turn missions into winning proposals.

Securing funding for a small non-profit often feels like a full-time job without the full-time staff. For many organizations in Regina, the "blank page" is the biggest hurdle to success. Join us for an introductory session designed to take the mystery out of the process by utilizing the powerful tools already at your fingertips.

This workshop is not a masterclass in grant theory; instead, it is a practical toolkit session. We will explore two modern ways to streamline your workflow:

• Gale Courses: Discover the library’s hidden gem for professional development. We will show you how to access free, 6-week instructor-led courses like “A to Z Grant Writing” and “Advanced Grant Proposal Writing.” These courses provide the structural "how-to" that ensures your applications meet professional standards.
• AI as Your Drafting Partner: We will demonstrate how to responsibly use AI tools like Google Gemini and ChatGPT to break writer's block. Learn how to use AI to brainstorm project titles, summarize long funder guidelines, and polish your drafts for clarity and tone.

What You Will Learn:

• Accessing Expertise: How to sign up for free, university-level grant writing certification through your library card.
• The Power of the Prompt: How to "talk" to AI to get first drafts of mission statements and project descriptions.
• Editing & Ethics: How to ensure your AI-assisted work remains authentic, accurate, and aligned with funder expectations.
• Local Resources: A quick look at where to find Regina-specific and Saskatchewan-wide grants.

Who should attend? Staff, board members, and volunteers of small non-profits who want to work smarter, not harder. Bring your curiosity and your library card!
