Grant Writing / Procurement Workshop


On Saturday the 14th of November, 2009 members of ICIEG, OMCV, and ICASE came together with Language Link’s Jacob Cullen in the attic at Fundição Amilcar Cabral to share their experiences about their projects and learn more about how to improve there methods of procurement of funds in the English language.

The first hour was an experience exchange and then we moved into an explanation of how to utilize word documents with pertinent information and how to link those documents to the internet and compile cited works i.e. information from wikipedia.com about any topic to not only facilitate language learning, but to discover ways of browsing the net to improve ourselves and our respective institutions. Also, Jacob compiled some sample documents about how to write a grant in English and all the elements needed to create a successful grant proposal.










After some guided searching via google.com we began to figure out how to use basic searches to find information about grants available from funders in the Anglophone world. At the end of the workshop, everyone left with a greater knowledge about how to link his or her respective organization to funding-based networks. They sent emails, created contacts, and became members of the Angel Network.
