On March 7, 2025, Action for Healthy Communities organized and hosted an enriching Entrepreneurship Grant Writing Bootcamp, which was specifically aimed at equipping participants with the essential knowledge and practical tools they need to successfully secure financial grants for their businesses.
“I attended private grant workshops before, but this one far surpassed anything I learned before,” said one boot camp participant.
This informative session, led by Dr. Lars Hallstrom, placed a strong emphasis on the importance of understanding and applying the LogFrame, also known as the Logic Model. Many attendees expressed their appreciation for the facilitator’s clear communication and engaging teaching style, which made complex concepts much easier to grasp. Participants found value in learning how this logical framework could be effectively adapted to various writing contexts, especially in relation to grant and Request for Proposal (RFP) applications.
“[This was an] [e]xcellent workshop by the right facilitator, and planned and supervised by excellent people — Tulin, Lida — and the rest of their team at AHC,” said another boot camp participant.
Throughout the duration of the workshop, entrepreneurs not only explored numerous funding opportunities available to them but also engaged in lively discussions regarding eligibility requirements for different grants. Furthermore, they learned practical and effective strategies for writing compelling and persuasive grant proposals that would capture the attention of potential funders.
Importantly, the workshop also provided participants with a valuable opportunity to network with each other, exchanging ideas and building connections that could benefit their businesses in the future. In addition, they had the unique chance to receive personalized, one-on-one feedback from the workshop professor. This expert generously offered to review grant applications at no cost, provided that they were submitted in advance, ensuring that participants could refine their proposals further and increase their chances of success in securing funding.
“Very grateful to have this workshop. Thank you very much, Action for Healthy Communities, for organizing this.”
