…Set to empower Nigerian Changemakers in Grant Writing
Grant Master, Africa’s leading grant writing marketplace, has announced the return of its highly anticipated Creative Writers Fellowship (CWF) in collaboration with the United States African Development Foundation (USADF). This esteemed fellowship program equips Nigerians with the essential skills to craft winning grant proposals, propelling their visions towards impactful change.
Having nurtured creative writers and empowered them in grant writing for the past two years, the CWF steps into its fourth edition with the full sponsorship from USADF. This signifies the foundation’s unwavering commitment to cultivating Nigerian talent and amplifying the voices of SME owners, startup founders, NGO leaders, and creatives.
Travis Adkins, President and CEO of United States African Development Foundation (USADF) commented on the foundation’s dedication to fostering the potential of Nigerian youth. He stated: “USADF is committed to investing in Nigeria’s youth, supporting them to create pathways to prosperity in their communities. We are proud to partner with Grant Master to provide complimentary grant writing skills and resources, equipping young entrepreneurs and changemakers with the skills they need to access funding and build a brighter future.”
“We all know what it feels like to dream big but feel limited by what we have. That’s where grant writing becomes a superpower – it turns those dreams into reality.” Olugbenga Ogunbowale, Co-founder & CEO of Grant Master, reflected. “Our Creative Writers Fellowship, in collaboration with USADF, will empower 400 Nigerian changemakers to unlock that same power. It will help them say, ‘I see a better future, and this is how I’m going to build it.’ We’re so proud to be helping these visionaries find the words to ignite change, both in their communities and within themselves.”
The 2024 CWF is a three-week intensive virtual program led by seasoned grant writing experts with a remarkable history of securing millions of dollars in grant funding. Participants will gain the expertise to craft persuasive proposals that resonate with funders, unlocking the doors to critical resources needed to bring their ideas to life and generate impactful projects.
The 2024 Creative Writers Fellowship represents more than just a learning opportunity—it’s a catalyst for transformation and growth. The application deadline is April 22, 2024. Interested candidates can apply at www.grantmaster.xyz/cwf.
