This course provides students with the descriptive and analytic tools to enhance their professional practice of grant writing, financial management and planning. This course is designed to enable students to explore the plethora of issues that encompass the funding of an organization and the provision of services to communities, including the colonization of philanthropic actions and corporate wealth. At the same time attention is paid to accountability, as administrators are responsible for the delivery of performance-based, and effective and efficient services both in the public, private, and the non-profit sectors.
