WRITING GRANT PROPOSALS FOR WRAP
Sponsored by The Copeland Center for Wellness and Recovery
This webinar was presented by Katherine Heart on February 9, 2012, and drew 265 registrants from 41 U.S. States, the District of Columbia and Virgin Islands, and 5 countries (Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, Japan, Philippines). The webinar is no longer archived by The Copeland Center, however, Katherine’s records will allow her to present this topic again for other organizations.
The webinar was based on Katherine’s Half-Day Institute at the First International WRAP Around the World Conference by the Copeland Center for Wellness & Recovery. WRAP is Wellness Recovery Action Plan, a recovery system developed by people who have experience incorporating wellness tools and strategies into their lives. The webinar provides basic information about seeking grants for WRAP and other recovery programs. Grants can be found to start or expand the number of groups, train facilitators, integrate into formal systems of care, and develop community programs that serve the needs of children and families, veterans, and others. The webinar includes information about the grant-seeking process, steps to develop a basic grant proposal, and how to search for funders. A sample proposal for veterans from Vet to Vet Ohio serves as an example. The webinar applies to other wellness recovery, health, and mental health programs.
