This paper offers definitions and descriptions, and explores the dynamics, of "strategic grantseeking" as a means of supporting economic development programs. Strategic grantseeking is a natural and dynamic tool usable with any economic development program. It consists of a set of concepts, procedures, and tools which are integrated into a long-term institutional commitment to a system of grant development using dynamic staff training and community linkages. One model for implementing strategic grantseeking for rural economic development uses university-based community education centers (UCEC). UCECs have characteristics and resources which easily lend themselves to strategic grantseeking. Such resources include faculty, library support, and already existing networks of vital contacts. The process revolves around the goal of creating a statewide infrastructure of local community education programs with staffs that are trained in grant writing. The process involves a series of grant writing workshops and the development of proposal development teams (PDT). Strategic grantseeking encourages the local community to seek grants independently or as part of a PDT. Cooperation between the UCECs and local community education programs is imperative. A model for utilizing the UCEC as the focus for strategic grantseeking is described and 10 program implementation steps are listed. The document concludes that communities and UCECs should incorporate strategic grantseeking in their efforts to bring all available resources to bear on their economic needs and problems. (TES)
