Once Upon a Time, There Was a Problem Worth Solving: Storytelling as a Grant Writing Strategy
Saturday 7 March 2026·3:30 pm
Every great grant proposal begins the same way a great story does. Once upon a time, there was a problem worth solving, and a classroom full of reasons to fight for funding. In this session, you will learn how to take what you already see and know in your classroom and turn it into a story that funders cannot ignore. Using six practical storytelling moves, you will craft proposals that are compelling, classroom-rooted, and funded. The most powerful evidence you have is already in your room. Every grant proposal is a story waiting to be told.
