Grant Writing 101

Advanced Grantsmanship

Your website is being used to evaluate your organization. Period. With roughly 95% of nonprofit organizations working with annual budgets of less than $5million, a $50,000 website seems out of the question. Does that mean that a successful web site is impossible for the majority of nonprofits? Absolutely not.

This six-hour workshop takes you step-by-step through all the stages of the proposal writing process. The class discusses the characteristics of effective & ineffective proposals by giving you the opportunity to review actual grant proposals written by others. This class is appropriate for individuals who have never written a grant or for those who need a thorough review. It is helpful to have a specific project in mind so that you will obtain the most benefit from the class.

Workbook provided.

This course includes three nights of advanced grantsmanship classes:

There are some basic elements that can be incorporated into any nonprofit website. In this class we will identify these elements and explore some low-cost alternative solutions. This class will benefit fundraisers, communications managers or executive directors.

Part I: The first part of the workshop presents a broad overview of grantsmanship and examines questions surrounding proposals, their funding sources and preparation necessary before writing a grant proposal.

Part II: The second half of the workshop discusses the important components of a grant application including: Summary/Abstract, Introduction, Need/Problem Statement, Objectives, Activities/Methods, Evaluation and Budget.

Vivaldi: His Music, Life, and Times

NEW!

Vivaldi’s music exemplifies the spirit of 18th-century Enlightenment ideas and in many ways foreshadows the aesthetic of expressivity embraced by 19th-century Romanticism. The vividly expressive titles he gave many of his instrumetnal pieces reflect the intensely personal and dramatic nature of Vivaldi’s music, which was paralleled by his fervent interest in Venetian musical theater. The events of his life were no less dramatic and mirror an exceptionally creative personality driven by inner passions and fierce individualism. In this course, we will look at the broad spectrum of Vivaldi’s music and consider how his extraordinary life, his innovative artistry, and his resistance to the aesthetic conventions of his time impacted his extraordinary musical creativity.

Personal Enrichment Tennis I

Yoga for Strength

Yoga: Vinyasa I

This is an instructional class for the beginning player or for a player who is returning to the game. The instructor focuses on developing the basics of the game: forehand, backhand, volley and serve. The class has a relaxed pace and uses a variety of drills to enhance footwork, hand-eye coordination, and muscle memory of shots. Scoring is also covered through practice drills of mini-tennis, using speedballs, and progressing to full-court play. One classroom session is included in the course. No experience necessary.

This class is designed for any level of student from beginner to advanced. Students learn how to find where postural imbalances occur in their structures, loosen tight muscles, and strengthen weak ones. Each student learns how to gain more awareness of the body and how to reach its optimum strength. Students perceive more openness as they find correct alignments in the postures. No experience necessary.

This yoga practice is intended for students interested in increasing their body and breath awareness. Students work on linking their yoga postures with their breathing in order to create heat through a moving meditation. The class begins with a focus on alignment and slowly builds into a deep vinyasa flow practice that suits all levels.

The instructor gives modifications for the poses in order to offer a calming yet energizing practice for students of varying ranges of flexibility and mobility.

Great City Amsterdam Canals and Anne Frank, world famous Rijksmuseum and the Red Light District–they’re all here, along with a full week’s worth of activities in one of the world’s fun-loving destinations.

Blending well-known sites and some hidden gems, Dr. Ken Orosz will guide and inspire, make suggestions and let us do some of our own funmaking! Along with the city itself, we’ll take a day out to some of Holland’s other treasures!

Through a partnership with International Horizons, Inc., the University of Richmond School of Continuing Studies is offering a variety of trips and tours to exotic locations around the world. Each trip is led by a specialist in the area to be visited and highlights a variety of interests including history, archaeology, architecture, local culture, flora and fauna and behind-the-scenes treasures.

Dates: February 17–March 4, 2006 Cost: $4,300

Egypt Beneath the Surface Our classic trip to this antique land, and definitely for those who want to really see Egypt!

Nile cruise, flight to Abu Simbel, visits to the Sphinx, Valley of the Kings and Giza Pyramids–they’re all here–along with two visits to the incomparable Cairo Museum (do you really think you can see the 150,000 pieces in one two-hour visit the others offer?). Inside the Great Pyramid (no one else offers that one!)… Tut’s Tomb…meeting with American archaeologists… and an Indiana Jones Day of exploration by flashlight… Is this your trip? Then join us… but sign up soon as it always sells out! And it’s our last Egypt-in-March trip!

Dates: March 4–17, 2006 Cost: $4,200

Bank tombs overlooked on one-day visits, and then move into the three southern oases of the Sahara! Along the way we’ll crawl into mummy pits, examine geological remains that are millions of years old, and go through the Sahara in 4-wheeled vehicles where few have gone before!

Dates: March 18–31, 2006 Cost: $4,350

April in Paris One of our most popular trips, it sells out every time we offer it! And why not–the City of Lights and of Lovers has enticed all for centuries. Led by near-native Professor Ken Orosz, you’ll visit well-known Notre Dame and the Louvre, as well as a couple of places only the insiders know.

Toss in a spectacular palace, examine incomparable restaurants, check out a Medieval gem and take a bit of free time. Ah… Paris!

Dates: April 22–29, 2006 Cost: $2,495

European Barge Tour I: The Rhine Join us as we cruise along one of Europe’s most historic and scenic rivers, the mighty Rhine!

Bridging and dividing much of Europe’s culture, the Rhine will serve as a gentle introduction to this spectacular region. Sipping wine from this vineyard, visiting that massive castle (the Rhine has the greatest concentration of castles anywhere in Europe!)…wandering this centuries-old hamlet, exploring that museum… If you’ve been wanting to get started with an in-depth look at Europe, here is your trip!

Combine three countries and two of the world’s eight ‘magical’ cities into one trip. Add in an award-winning historian, and combine with a well-paced itinerary and enough leisure to savor the sights yourself. Stir in memorable hotels and enough Old World charm to tickle even the most jaded palate. That’s it–the recipe for an unique and not-to-be-forgotten journey!

Dates: September 1–10, 2006 Cost: TBA

Cyprus: Crossroads of the Mediterranean If islands are your ‘thing’, then try this one for size! A blending of Eastern and European flavors, styles and traditions, this island-nation (less than half the size of New Jersey) offers a huge sampling of history, archaeology and culture.

Toss in picturesque villages, open-air markets, sparkling beaches and enough leisure to enjoy them at just the right time of year–maybe islands are your thing!

Dates: September 15–24, 2006 Cost: TBA

Peru: Land of the Incas One of the most under-rated destinations for Americans, and so much more than ‘just’ llamas and Machu Picchu! Mysterious Nazca Lines which still perplex archaeologists, eerie Ica Desert and its thousand-year old mummies, colonial Lima that ran the Spanish New World Empire for nearly four centuries, and almost twomile-high Cuzco whose Inca remains rival those of ancient Egypt in technique… and incomparable Machu Picchu! Toss in those memorable IH hotels and a great meal or two–you’ll be glad you went south of the border!

CEUs Some courses in this catalog qualify for CEUs (Continuing Education Units). CEUs are a way of measuring and officially recognizing the time and effort you have put into your education for your job or profession. The Office of the University Registrar will maintain a record of your CEUs and provide you with a transcript upon request. So, what do you do with a CEU? As you update your credentials, are in line for a transfer, promotion or evaluation of your current position, or want to make a vocational change or explore a new career, the CEUs demonstrate the time, energy and interest you have shown in broadening your horizons.
