| A Great Success Story |
|
|
It's always wonderful to receive updates from seminar participants and the following is one we'd like to share.
I took your classes; [Beginning] Grantwriting and Advanced Grantwriting because I was frustrated that we were turned down twice for funding we needed desperately for the program I have created. And I was not very happy with our grant writers narrative of the program I operate. After the last class I insisted that she use my narrative (that I created in the class) for the next grant and guess what? We were just awarded $40,000 from Pierce County and another $6,200 from Tacoma Public Utilities...WOW!
Thank you so much for giving me the information and the confidence I needed to be proactive and assertive about the future of funding for my program."
